An IoT Platform for Civil Infrastructure Monitoring
pdf
Internet of Things (IoT) can have a huge impact in engineering by leveraging state-of-the-art information and communication technologies (ICT). In practice, however, deploying IoT platforms to handle domain-specific engineering information along with sensor data of different types remains to be a challenging problem. To effectively support data sharing and interoperability and facilitate access by engineering tools, engineering modeling information and sensor data of different types need to be managed properly. This study describes an IoT platform that is tailored to civil infrastructure monitoring applications and adopts an information modeling approach to facilitate data interoperability and to integrate engineering information with sensor data. The design goals of the IoT platform include (1) scalable data management to handle engineering and monitoring data, (2) standard interface to allow client applications to access the IoT platform, and (3) data integration & interoperability to facilitate sharing and utilization of data.
