Sener – SHM, Structural Behaviour Analysis and Forecasting for Bridges and Viaducts

Sener 

Sector: Mobility

Business Case

SHM is a platform with a structural health monitoring system for viaducts located on a high-speed rail network. In addition, the system performs forecasts of the maintenance needs of the viaducts.

Objetivos

Minimise maintenance costs by eliminating the need for personnel to travel to the network viaducts. In many cases, it is unnecessary for personnel to travel as maintenance was not needed.

Use case

The system is based on Distributed Fibre Optic Sensors (DFOS) together with On-Premise machines that are responsible for acquiring and processing the deformations and vibrations of the viaduct, as well as a series of cloud services that collect and transform the data into useful information for the rail network operator.

Infraestructura

Cloud and On Premise (dockerised microservices)

Tecnologías utilizadas

Deep learning

Datos utilizados

Deformation and vibration data of a real monitored bridge

Recursos utilizados

Bridge and Viaduct Specialist, Data Scientist, Data & IoT Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Front-Back Programmers.

Dificultades y aprendizaje

Communication-understanding between the technical personnel applied to the field of bridges and viaducts, and the personnel with expertise in more digital technologies (data scientists, programmers, etc.). Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the sensor and its correct processing

KPIs (impacto en el negocio y métricas del modelo)

Reduction in the number of inspections and therefore maintenance costs required on the element of infrastructure
