Abstract
The use of wireless sensors for bridge assessment has been investigated extensively in the past decades. However, in most field applications, current sensors and sensing systems still rely on wired connectivity for communication and power. This is the case even though tethered sensors require extensive cabling throughout a structure resulting in long installation processes, and their maintenance may increase the total cost of Structural Health Monitoring systems and impede their broader use, especially when rapid infrastructure assessment is needed. One possible explanation of this slow adoption of wireless sensors is the reliance on sensing units that have not been tested for decades as for their wired counterparts.
