Reliability of transport and civil infrastructure monitoring systems

AIM: This study aimed to analyze the causes of reduced reliability and propose practical solutions to eliminate their effect on monitoring systems for engineering structures of transport and civil infrastructure. METHODS: The study uses statistics from the databases of the existing engineering structure monitoring system and theoretical methods of scientific knowledge (analytical method, mathematical statistics theory, and inductive reasoning). RESULTS: The paper presents an analysis of the causes of reduced reliability of existing monitoring systems and proposes solutions to mitigate the effect of calibration tests on the reliability of engineering structure monitoring systems (ESMS) and the effect of misoperation of instruments on the reliability of ESMS. CONCLUSION: The findings may be used in the standardization of ESMS (development of new standards and regulations); design and installation of engineering structure monitoring systems for transport and civil infrastructure, and the improvement of existing monitoring systems to improve the health assessment quality of the structures.
