Abstract

This paper proposes a green, lightweight, and cost-effective wireless system for structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges. The system utilizes an edge computing model, eliminating the need for traditional cloud services by enabling sensor nodes to collaborate with a local intelligent hub for data collection, storage, and presentation. The system employs wireless sensor nodes based on MEMS accelerometers powered by batteries with support for solar energy supplementation. These nodes are equipped with low-power, low-cost wireless microcontrollers to ensure continuous and stable data collection. This paper details the hardware and software design of the system, with a focus on the issue of sensor node clock synchronization. Experimental validation shows that the system performs excellently in terms of data collection effectiveness and sensor node clock synchronization.
