IIT Madras, C-DAC to manage software system for bridge health monitoring

IIT Madras and C-DAC are collaborating to oversee a sophisticated software system designed to monitor the health of bridges across India. This initiative aims to ensure structural integrity and safety by incorporating advanced monitoring technologies into highway contracts. With the government mandating the removal of such components in contracts where construction hasn't started, this move underscores a proactive approach to infrastructure safety and reflects the importance of integrating technology into public works for long-term reliability.
