In this study, we proposed a methodology for a technique to simultaneously estimate the mechanical parameters of vehicles and bridges and road surface roughness from vehicle vibration. The MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) method was used to search for parameters from vehicle vibrations generated by numerical simulation. The results obtained are estimable even in the presence of bridge stiffness reduction, which suggests the possibility of bridge damage detection using vehicle vibration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
