Description

Bridge health monitoring system including soundproof wall having easily replaceable transparent solar panels The present invention relates to a bridge continuous monitoring system for monitoring the structural integrity of a bridge in real time, comprising a sound barrier equipped with a transparent solar panel that enables stable power supply not only during normal times but also during disasters, minimizes power supply facilities for measurement sensors and auxiliary equipment, and allows installation in hard-to-reach locations without obstructing the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. Roads, which serve as the center of transportation and logistics, are of such great importance that they are likened to the arteries of the nation, and their construction, maintenance, and repair are strictly managed based on various laws and regulations. In particular, given the topography of Korea, which is characterized by many mountains and rivers, numerous bridges are installed on the roads. Bridges are structurally more sensitive to safety issues because they support roads at high altitudes via piers. As bridge accidents cause serious human and material damage, they must be inspected periodically after construction; to this end, specialized personnel have been conducting safety inspections on-site. Recently, aided by advancements in IT technology, attempts are being made to ensure greater safety by utilizing the Internet of Things (hereinafter referred to as "IoT") to collect and analyze various data that can be used to remotely assess the structural integrity of bridges in real time. However, since the terrain where the bridge is installed is generally rugged, such as mountainous areas and rivers, a method is required to stably supply power to various measuring and communication equipment for a long period of time, and the power facilities need to be appropriately integrated with road facilities so as not to obstruct the passage of vehicles and pedestrians.
