Extracting vibration features of civil infrastructure enables authorities to identify structural safety and integrity, as well as preparedness for hazardous events such as earthquakes. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems are used as mobile sensors to measure vibrations and deformations of civil infrastructure. Compared with the conventional structural health monitoring systems, UAVs provide essential advantages such as remoteness, mobility, automation, and scalability in contrast with stationary and permanent vibration sensing systems. In this study, the possible use of sensor technology to detect civil infrastructure vibration with the help of UAV sensors, particularly bridge infrastructure was evaluated. The method is an invasive sensing technology that makes use of embedded accelerometer data from smartphones and UAVs which is used for bridge acceleration response measurement. This method relies on high landing accuracy and coupling with the structural surface under extreme conditions.
