Project title: Development of a System for Telemeasuring Bridge Corrosion

File: C020.1

Problem:
A surface's wet time, or the period during which this surface is exposed to rain, dew, frost or snow, is a key parameter in the degradation of metallic bridge surfaces. A system for reading and recording these data seems to be essential to studying bridge corrosion.

Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to perfect a remote measuring system that improves on the current system in two ways: use of a system topology based on a dedicated microcomputer circuit to ensure system management; improvement of corrosion measuring systems using SEREDA sensors and temperature sensors.

Methodology:
For the project, the Êcole Polytechnique designed a dedicated microcomputer circuit and the necessary software, ensuring the link between the host computer and the dedicated microcomputer circuit. The object of improving the corrosion measuring system is to permit remote calibration of sensors and allow the system to withstand a wide temperature range.
