FAQ
Displaid in details
01-What types of sensors are used for bridge structural monitoring?
Bridge monitoring mainly relies on sensors capable of measuring dynamic and static behaviour. The most commonly used are accelerometers for vibration and dynamic response analysis, and inclinometers for monitoring slow rotations and displacements over time. Displaid sensors are specifically designed for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) applications, offering high metrological performance and permanent installation capability.
02-Are wireless sensors as reliable as traditional wired systems?
Wired systems have long been the reference standard, especially for data quality. However, modern wireless solutions designed for SHM can achieve comparable, if not superior, system reliability. Displaid wireless sensors combine high metrological performance with significantly simplified installation, reducing common failure points typical of wired systems, such as cables and physical connections.
03-Are Displaid wireless accelerometers synchronised for bridge modal analysis?
Yes. Displaid wireless accelerometers are synchronised for bridge modal analysis without distorting results or estimated dynamic quantities. Proprietary synchronisation technology, developed and validated for SHM, ensures reliable temporal alignment even across distributed sensor networks. In the frequency ranges relevant for bridges, synchronisation performance is equivalent to traditional wired systems, while maintaining the operational advantages of wireless technology in terms of installation, cost, and flexibility.
04-How do structural monitoring sensors impact overall project costs?
Sensor cost is only a portion of total monitoring system costs. Traditional systems often incur significant expenses from cabling, auxiliary works, power supply, and installation. Displaid’s autonomous, wireless approach significantly reduces implementation costs, simplifies installation, and minimises traffic disruption, making structural monitoring more accessible and sustainable, even for large networks.
05-How are Displaid sensors powered, and what maintenance do they require?
Displaid sensors operate independently, even without external power. Ultra-low power design, integrated solar panels, and intelligent energy management ensure continuous operation with minimal maintenance. This “plug and forget” approach is ideal for existing bridges with limited accessibility, providing tangible value to asset managers.
06-Have Displaid sensors been installed and tested on real infrastructure?
Yes. Displaid sensors have been installed and validated on numerous real infrastructures, both in research projects and operational applications. The technology builds on years of academic research and field experimentation, with data collection on real bridges. This experience allows Displaid to offer mature, reliable solutions designed for continuous long-term operation.
