Overview

At approximately 1,830 m, the Mintard Viaduct is the longest steel road bridge in Germany and a critical artery of the federal motorway network. IRMOS instrumented the structure with over 400 continuously monitored channels, capturing 100,000 datapoints per second. The system tracks the bridge's degradation while continuously assessing the actual traffic loads crossing it — using this information to monitor structural integrity and to provide realistic, evolving estimates of real traffic loading rather than relying on conservative design assumptions.
