The ‘AMBROSE’ System: Outcomes of an Alta Scuola Politecnica Project on Structural Health Monitoring

From May 2023 to September 2024, in the framework of the Alta Scuola Politecnica, seven M.Sc. students and six academic tutors dedicated themselves to the project AMBROSE - A Multisensor BRidge MOnitoring SystEm. The team, composed of Structural, Geotechnical, Mechanical, Electronic, and Data Engineers from Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano, aimed at envisioning a holistic, multidisciplinary, and hierarchical novel concept for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring. To this aim, three workgroups were formed, dedicated to (I) hardware solutions for direct monitoring, (II) hardware solutions for indirect monitoring, and (III) software solutions for data modelling. This short contribution briefly summarises the final results of each workgroup, the current state of the proposed solutions, and the future works ahead
