Sensor-enabled system and method for monitoring the health, condition, and/or status of pavement and vehicular infrastructure

Abstract

A system for monitoring pavement infrastructure includes an edge network enabled sensor-enabled geogrid embedded within the pavement infrastructure, a microcontroller configured to receive signals from the sensor-enabled geogrid, and a communication network for transmitting the received signals from the microcontroller to a computer network. The sensor-enabled geogrid provides real-time data on the condition of the pavement, enabling efficient monitoring and maintenance. The microcontroller processes the signals from the geogrid, and the communication network facilitates the transmission of this data to a remote computer network for analysis and decision-making. This system enhances the ability to monitor pavement conditions, potentially improving maintenance strategies and extending the lifecycle of pavement infrastructure.
