Call for Papers for

******************************************************************************* Special Session on Intelligent Structural Health and Safety Monitoring for the

12th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems ********************************************************************************

October 4-7, 2009 in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A.

Deadline Extended: June 30, 2009 (No further extension will be given)

Using advanced sensor and wireless communication technology, the health and safety of much of today's critical infrastructure (e.g., bridges, roads, tunnels, and buildings) can be continuously, autonomously, and remotely monitored to streamline maintenance efforts and provide early warning of pending hazards (e.g., structural fatigue, icing conditions, floods, and fire). These cost-effective systems allow for long-term continuous monitoring, instead of occasional human inspection, thus providing immediate detection of potential problems before they become major catastrophes. This workshop will provide an overview of ongoing research in this emerging area, including, but not limited to, the development of intelligent sensors, instrumentation and devices for infrastructure monitoring, wireless sensor networks, energy harvesting systems, structure reliability analysis, and modeling, simulation, and implementation of infrastructure monitoring systems.
