Airport pavements should ensure regular and safe movements during their service life; the management body has to monitor the functional and structural characteristics, and schedule maintenance work, balancing the often conflicting goals of safety, economic and technical issues. This paper presents a remote monitoring system to evaluate the structural performance of a runway composed of concrete thresholds and a flexible central runway. Thermometers, strain gauges, and pressure cells will be embedded at different depths to continuously monitor the pavement's response to traffic and environmental loads. An innovative system allows data acquisition and processing with specific calculation models, in order to inform the infrastructure manager, in real time, about the actual conditions of the pavement. In this way, the authors aim to develop a system that provides useful information for the correct implementation of an airport pavement management system (APMS) based on real-life data. Indeed, it permits comprehensive monitoring functions to be performed, based on the embedded sensing network.
机场路面应在其使用寿命内确保定期和安全的运行；管理机构必须监测功能和结构特性，并安排维护工作，平衡安全、经济和技术问题这两个常常相互冲突的目标。本文提出了一种远程监测系统，用于评估由混凝土道岔和柔性中央跑道组成的跑道的结构性能。将在不同深度嵌入温度计、应变计和压力传感器，以连续监测路面对交通和环境荷载的响应。创新系统允许使用特定的计算模型进行数据采集和处理，以便及时向基础设施管理人员报告路面的实际状况。通过这种方式，作者旨在开发一种系统，为基于实际数据的正确实施机场路面管理系统（APMS）提供有用信息。实际上，它允许基于嵌入式传感网络执行全面的监测功能。
