45 m long research bridge - openLAB webite online
The project website for the openLAB in the IDA-KI research project (infrastructure data evaluation with artificial intelligence) is now available:
The goal of the IDA-KI (Infrastructure Data Analysis with Artificial Intelligence) research project is to develop methods for automated analysis and evaluation of monitoring data. The validation is carried out using real measurement data acquired on a 45 m long research bridge (openLAB). First, the reference condition of the bridge is measured with and without service loads over a period of one year. Subsequently, targeted load tests will be performed up to the severe damage state. At the same time, redundant sensors will be damaged or manipulated to create a real database with specific signal characteristics for metrological and structural anomalies. This will provide an important basis for the development of evaluation methods (also based on machine learning), so that measurement faults in monitoring data can be corrected in the future and differentiated from structural damage.
openLAB - A research bridge in Lusatia
The research bridge, known as openLAB, is a prestressed concrete bridge approximately 45 m long and 4.5 m wide, which is being built on the site of Hentschke Bau GmbH in Bautzen, Germany.
The research project IDA-KI (Automated assessment of monitoring data for infrastructure constructions using AI and IoT) is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, Germany, within the innovation program mFUND (funding reference: 19FS2013A).
