The ISTIMES project, funded by the European Commission in the frame of a joint Call "ICT and Security" of the Seventh Framework Programme, is presented and preliminary research results are discussed. The main objective of the ISTIMES project is to design, assess and promote an Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based system, exploiting distributed and local sensors, for non-destructive electromagnetic monitoring of critical transport infrastructures. The integration of electromagnetic technologies with new ICT information and telecommunications systems enables remotely controlled monitoring and surveillance and real time data imaging of the critical transport infrastructures. The project exploits different non-invasive imaging technologies based on electromagnetic sensing (optic fiber sensors, Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite platform based, hyperspectral spectroscopy, Infrared thermography, Ground Penetrating Radar-, low-frequency geophysical techniques, Ground based systems for displacement monitoring). In this paper, we show the preliminary results arising from the GPR and infrared thermographic measurements carried out on the Musmeci bridge in Potenza, located in a highly seismic area of the Apennine chain (Southern Italy) and representing one of the test beds of the project.
ISTIMES 项目由欧盟委员会资助,是第七框架计划联合呼叫“信息和通信技术与安全”的一部分,介绍了该项目并讨论了初步的研究结果。ISTIMES 项目的主要目标是设计、评估和推广一种基于信息和通信技术(ICT)的系统,利用分布式和本地传感器,对关键交通基础设施进行非破坏性电磁监测。电磁技术与新的 ICT 信息和电信系统的集成实现了对关键交通基础设施的远程控制监测和实时数据成像。该项目利用了不同的基于电磁感应的非侵入性成像技术(光纤传感器、基于合成孔径雷达卫星平台的技术、高光谱光谱学技术、红外热成像技术、探地雷达技术、低频地球物理技术、用于位移监测的地面系统)。在本文中,我们展示了在位于意大利南部阿普安纳山脉(Appennines)强震区的波坦察(Potenza)的 Musmeci 大桥上进行的 GPR 和红外热成像测量的初步结果,该大桥是该项目的测试床之一。
