Abstract

Smart bridge automatic height increases when flooding presents the design and implementation of a smart bridge system equipped with an innovative height adjustment mechanism to effectively mitigate damage caused by flooding. Traditional bridges are vulnerable to flood-related disasters, resulting in significant infrastructure damage and safety hazards. The proposed smart bridge integrates advanced sensors, actuators, and a control system to autonomously detect rising water levels and adjust its height accordingly. Upon detecting flood conditions, the bridge utilizes hydraulic or pneumatic actuators to raise itself to a predetermined safe height, thereby preventing damage and ensuring continuous connectivity for transportation networks. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated through a case study or prototype, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance infrastructure resilience in the face of natural disasters. This research contributes to the advancement of smart infrastructure solutions for improving disaster resilience and public safety.
