Doctoral Position in AI-Assisted Bridge Assessment for Special Road Transports

This project combines classical structural analysis with modern data-based and computational methods (AI & FEM) to advance the structural assessment of bridges under special road transports.

Project background

The Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) processes more than 20,000 applications for special road transports every year vehicles or vehicle combinations that exceed the legal limits. Roughly half of these applications require a structural assessment of the bridges along the route. Given the high number of applications and the diversi...
