The ability to continuously monitor the integrity of our nations civil infrastructure in real-time can reduce maintenance and inspection costs, while providing for increased safety to the public. Middleware services and tools can provide a fundamental foundation and a crucial technology for full-scale implementation of SHM strategies that can exploit the opportunities offered by smart sensing systems. The focus of this investigation will be placed on developing an integrated middleware services-based system that can utilize information sensed at multiple scales for structural condition assessment. To ground this research, the latest generation of embedded computers from Intel, the Imote2, will provide the platform employed. The comprehensive research plan has four primary tasks: (i) develop an integrated sensor board with multi-scale sensors for the Imote2 platform; (ii) conceptualize, develop, and implement software services and tools framework for civil infrastructure systems using the Imote2 platform; (iii) develop new SHM algorithms that can be executed in the smart sensors distributed computing environment; and (iv) prototype and test developed hardware and software in both laboratory and field environments. Successful completion of the proposed research tasks will make substantial strides toward realizing the practical implementation of dense arrays of smart sensors for protection of civil infrastructure.

持续实时监控国家民用基础设施完整性的能力可以降低维护和检查成本，同时提高公众的安全性。中间件服务和工具可以为全面实施 SHM 策略提供基础基础和关键技术，从而利用智能传感系统提供的机会。这项研究的重点将放在开发一个基于集成中间件服务的系统，该系统可以利用在多个尺度上感知的信息进行结构状况评估。为了支持这项研究，英特尔最新一代嵌入式计算机 Imote2 将提供所使用的平台。该综合研究计划有四项主要任务：(i) 为 Imote2 平台开发具有多尺度传感器的集成传感器板； (ii) 使用 Imote2 平台构思、开发和实施民用基础设施系统的软件服务和工具框架； (iii) 开发可在智能传感器分布式计算环境中执行的新 SHM 算法； (iv) 在实验室和现场环境中对开发的硬件和软件进行原型设计和测试。成功完成拟议的研究任务将为实现用于保护民用基础设施的密集智能传感器阵列的实际应用迈出实质性的一步。
