报告简介：

无论是在建造过程中，还是在整个设计生命周期中，均需要开发新型的监测手段来更好地了解基础设施的性能，以尽量节省材料、能源和劳动力资源。而传感器技术的进步，为从根本上改变基础设施的状态评估和监测手段提供了支持，因此，未来通过传感系统从基础设施中获得的丰富信息，将对与用户行为模式直联的集成基础设施系统的设计、施工、运营和维护起到促进作用。本次报告中， Kenichi Soga教授将对土木工程基础设施的设计、建造、维护和升级中的一些新观点进行介绍，同时也将给出一些新兴传感技术（包括分布式光纤传感器、计算机视觉、无线传感器网络、低功耗微机电系统、能量收集和人体传感器）用于基础设施中的实例。

Design, construction, maintenance and upgrading of civil engineering infrastructure requires fresh thinking to minimize use of materials, energy and labor. This can only be achieved by understanding the performance of the infrastructure, both during its construction and throughout its design life, through innovative monitoring. Advances in sensor systems offer intriguing possibilities to radically alter methods of condition assessment and monitoring of infrastructure. In this talk, it is hypothesized that the future of infrastructure relies on smarter information; the rich information obtained from sensors within infrastructure will act as a catalyst for new design, construction, operation and maintenance processes for integrated infrastructure systems linked directly with user behavior patterns. Some examples of emerging sensor technologies for infrastructure sensing are given. They include distributed fiber-optics sensors, computer vision, wireless sensor networks, low-power micro-electromechanical systems, energy harvesting and citizens as sensors.
