| Abstract: |
Smartphones and tablets have the potential to revolutionise the mobile collection of data. The inspection of infrastructures, specifically of bridges, is an important aspect of maintenance in relation to ensuring a long service life and hence improving the sustainability of the building stock. Numerous technical features of modern smartphones make these very light and mobile devices perfectly suitable for recording, storing, transmitting and visualising data acquired “in the field”. Numerous built-in sensors can be utilised. This paper presents the main relevant features of such devices, the software implementation that has been developed and possible usage scenarios on actual structures. |
