This leads to SVIBS bringing INRIA into a 12 year long SHM project in Canada with ambitious objectives of producing some full internet based structural health monitoring project with potential applications to buildings, hospitals and of course, the collection of bridges monitored by the Ministry of Transportation of British Columbia. This project is also related to TPV, a startup in civil engineering, whose objectives is to valuate our methods in North America.

This project is monitored by University of British Columbia, under contract with Ministry of Transportation, BC. This work is performed with help of DDS, Belgium and SVIBS, DK. This will implement INRIA algorithms in a SHM system, and will provide a large scale outdoor demonstration for I4S.
