ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 18. As part of the
digitalization and enhancement of road infrastructure safety,
Kazakhstan is implementing a mobile express bridge diagnostics
technology that can detect hidden structural defects in just a few
minutes — without closing traffic or involving heavy special
equipment, said Anar Gabdullina, Deputy Chair of the Road Transport
Committee of the Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan, during a
briefing at the press center, Trend reports.
The diagnostic system is equipped with highly sensitive sensors,
including accelerometers, which register vibrations in the bridge
structure. If the vibration frequency deviates from the norm, the
system signals potential damage.
"This is especially important, for example, in cases where the
bridge's supporting beam may have been damaged by an oversized
vehicle impact," emphasized Gabdullina.
The primary benefit of the innovative technology lies in its
enhanced velocity and precision in diagnostic processes.
Historically, the execution of bridge assessments necessitated
substantial temporal investment, demanded a confluence of human
capital and technological assets, and induced transient disruptions
for vehicular operators. Currently, experts are equipped with
robust, real-time analytics that facilitate informed
decision-making.
The innovative framework empowers engineering services to expedite
decision-making processes with enhanced precision, identify latent
risks proactively, and mitigate emergency scenarios pertaining to
structural integrity.
