Smart composite bridge panel for strain and shape sensing
In this unique project, it was possible to create a smart element capable of self-diagnosis. Nerve- Sensors, including full integration of optical fibre with composite core, as well as displacement (shape) calculation, was implemented in a single bridge panel dedicated for smart bridge engineering. Many laboratory tests with both strain and displacement measurements were performed under the control of independent reference techniques.

Project challenges
Benefits of using the DFOS monitoring system
Results of using the DFOS monitoring system
Example measurement results obtained directly from the smart structural component are presented in the plots. We can observe both strains and displacements (shape changes) over length compared to reference techniques. It proves very good accuracy and high-quality performance of this measurement solution, which are the basis for the Nerve-Sensors idea.nges).
