“…With the progress made in recent years on wave transmission technologies, wireless sensors are increasingly used in the monitoring of engineering structures, such as bridges [12], buildings, railways [13,14], or road structures [3,15]. Many articles deal with their use in the dynamic and vibration fields [16][17][18] as well as in fatigue or damage problems [19,20], detection of the presence of humidity [21], or even vehicle detection and counting [22,23]. Di Graziano et al [24] conducted a state-of-the-art survey on the structural condition monitoring of bituminous pavements using smart sensor networks.…”

This paper introduces the implementation of a new device for measuring deformations at the surface layers of bituminous pavement. Using wireless technology, rechargeable remotely, low cost, and easily positioned in a layer by coring after pavement construction, this sensor makes it possible to obtain measurements of the deformation when a vehicle passes by. The development of the wireless sensor is presented as well as its advantages and limitations. It was then tested in the laboratory under a hydraulic press and in situ using a full-scale test of the mobile load simulator (MLS10 type). This system allows simple measurement, gives reliable results, and could be a useful device for the structural monitoring of pavement structures.

In this paper, we propose a wireless sensor network for pavement health monitoring exploiting the Zigbee technology. Accelerometers are adopted to measure local accelerations linked to pavement vibrations, which are then converted into displacements by a signal processing algorithm. Each device consists of an on-board unit buried in the roadway and a roadside unit. The on-board unit comprises a microcontroller, an accelerometer and a Zigbee module that transfers acceleration data wirelessly to the roadside unit. The roadside unit consists of a Raspberry Pi, a Zigbee module and a USB Zigbee adapter. Laboratory tests were conducted using a vibration table and with three different accelerometers, to assess the system capability. A typical displacement signal from a five-axle truck was applied to the vibration table with two different displacement peaks, allowing for two different vehicle speeds. The prototyped system was then encapsulated in PVC packaging, deployed and tested in a real-life road situation with a fatigue carousel featuring rotating truck axles. The laboratory and on-road measurements show that displacements can be estimated with an accuracy equivalent to that of a reference sensor.
