- Identifying damage in a bridge from vehicle measurements has received much attention the last decade. This paper examines the theoretical feasibility and practical limitations of such a drive-by system in identifying damage associated to localized stiffness losses. For the first time the nature of the ‘damage component’ that exists in a vehicle signal due to bridge damage is explained and is leveraged to develop a novel damage detection procedure. Subsequently the impact of noise and road profile on the ability of drive-by approaches to identify bridge damage is presented, specifically identifying situations where it will not be effective .
