Bellwether brings affordability to structural assessment and monitoring.
Advancing Rail Bridge Monitoring
Heuristic Actions has engineered and developed an affordable, wireless electronic structural monitoring system called Bellwether. Bellwether’s structural assessment and monitoring system is a breakthrough because it provides an affordable option for monitoring conditions across your entire rail bridge structure inventory.
Our field-tested signal processing algorithms can analyze live or dead load data to detect strike, tilt, deflection and provide a record of 3D motion during a sampling period. Continuous monitoring with Bellwether provides near real time alerts to impacts, trains, and seismic events, along with sudden changes due to scour, collisions or earthquakes.
We are truly advancing the successes and efficiencies in rail bridge management.
Bellwether stands guard.
Bellwether offers a robust platform for sensor management, data collection, and analytics. The flexible platform can accommodate various sensor types and employ different analytic methods and algorithms.
Dead Load
• Tilt/Inclination Monitoring
• Collision/Impact and Seismic Monitoring
• Static Displacement
Live Load
• 3D Kinetic Energy Monitoring
• Wobble, Sway, and Deflection
Sensing
Optional sensors can enhance monitoring with features like fire detection, video monitoring, and wind monitoring.
