Bridges and viaducts monitored with optical fiber and artificial intelligence: the idea of ​​the Italian Ntsg

by admin

About 500 kilometers of Italian road and motorway network monitored constantly by the end of 2021 thanks to the use of optical fiber and artificial intelligence: the solution was patented by the Italian company Ntsg and would be able to detect and measure deformations in 2d and 3d of an object of any shape and of a rigid or semi-rigid nature, precisely using sensitive optical fibers.

Currently, the monitoring system Of (the abbreviation stands for Optical Fiber) it was installed on approximately 10 kilometers of roads and motorways in regions such as Emilia Romagna, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria, Tuscany and Lombardy.

They were used for the works carried out and nearing completion nearly 30 kilometers of fiber optic cable and connected about 1000 sensors: the patent is based on the use of optical fiber to measure the tension state and other physical-chemical, mechanical and structural parameters of bridges, viaducts, buildings, tracks, wagons, water pipes, sewer pipes, oil and gas pipelines, electrical distribution network, wind turbines, telecabins, cables and so on.

The entrepreneur Paolo Persi del Marmo explained that “if today and in the near future motorists will be able to feel safer while traveling, it is thanks to this system, that detects the vertical and transverse deformation of each span, the measures of displacement and rotation of pile, from the shoulders and of support of the bridges, to determine the ways of vibrating the work “. And that’s not all, because in the future this technology could also be used to control the sails of the boats competing in the America’s Cup regattas and also the single-seaters of Formula 1.
