Bridge monitoring with video sensors
Bridge monitoring with video sensors
Bridge inspectors are blind to structural overloading and damage on the 99.9% of days that no one is onsite.
Bridge monitoring can avert incidents such as the I-40 Hernando de Soto Bridge in 2021 and the Fern Hollow Bridge in 2022. These bridges cost tens of millions of dollars to repair. When adding trucking delays, detours, and disruption to the local economy, these incidents each cost society into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Life loss is an added risk.
Bridge monitoring provides early detection of structural damage and overloading.
This reduces lifecycle costs to owners and increases the safety of the traveling public. Early intervention is made possible by timely and useful data.
Our video sensors are easily installed without wires and standardized for any bridge.
Bridge managers can install "virtual sensors" to any visible portion of their model structure. No physical sensors are needed on the actual structure.
Roebling Labs measures deflections and vibrations to 0.001-inch precision using video sensors placed on the shore.
If an overloaded vehicle, excessive environmental load, or a beyond threshold structural deflection or crack is detected, our system will send an alert, including a video clip of the incident.
Bridge managers can catch and resolve problems at remote sites earlier; proactively saving money and increasing safety.
Our vision is to monitor every bridge.
We bring Smart Bridge on a Tripod™ onsite for one day along with a human operator.

We permanently install Smart Bridge in a Box™ onsite within a weatherproof enclosure. It operates autonomously. The system is operataed remotely via a cellular modem, is solar powered, and human operators needn't be onsite.
To bridge owners and consulting engineers that are interested in deploying a Smart Bridge in a Box™ at their site, send us an email to scott@roeblinglabs.com to discuss the costs for your project.
Participation in a case study can unlock significant savings in 2025 as we continue to work with beta partners.
