However, data and monitoring systems may not be readily available to support strategic decisions or they may require costly installations in terms of time and labor requirements. In recent years, the possibility of monitoring bridges by indirectly sensing relevant parameters from traveling vehicles has emerged—an approach that would allow for the elimination of the costly installation of sensors and monitoring campaigns. The advantages of cooperative, connected, and automated mobility (CCAM), which is expected to become a reality in Europe towards the end of this decade, should therefore be considered for the future development of iSHM strategies. A critical review of methods and strategies for CCAM, including Intelligent Transportation Systems, is a prerequisite for moving towards the goal of identifying the synergies between CCAM and civil infrastructures, in line with future developments in vehicle automation.

Given the number of assets and the limited existing structures that were designed and constructed with design methods, knowledge, resources, it is important to define priorities and strategies to monitor and evaluate the and technology that are now out-of-date. Such strategies are also becoming an urgent need for aged and heavily loaded infrastructure that is subject to intensive use and higher trafﬁc loads compared to the design provisions in the year of construction. The existing infrastructure is further subject to additional loading conditions due to climate change (in Bridges with deficiencies (%) Bridges (%) Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 3 of 17 Europe, principally due to excessive ﬂooding and snow), while its construction materials are prone to degradation due to pollution and other environmental conditions. Traditional/direct SHM can be time-demanding and costly due to labor expenses and installation demands, especially when monitoring large-scale bridges using wired sensor networks that require complex installations of long cables [11]. Alternatively, solutions based on wireless sensor networks for SHM can provide low-cost and faster implemen- tation as wireless sensor units can be placed at remote locations of large-scale bridges provided that their power source is supplied by either batteries or energy-harvesting solutions [12–14]. Nonetheless, the adoption of wireless sensors can be limited by chal- lenges in the power autonomy of sensor nodes (this, in particular, is highly dependent on acquisition rates and transmission distances), bandwidth limitations, and communica- tions challenges (e.g., range of communication, interference) during wireless transmission of data. Aiming to provide alternatives and overcome constraints in traditional SHM systems, several indirect SHM methods (i.e., methods that do not require the installation of sensors on bridges) have been explored, and some have been introduced and implemented in recent years. Within the paradigm of indirect methods, one of the novel approaches being explored in bridges relies on vehicles with mounted sensors capable of recording signals associated with the structural/bridge response while traveling over the structure itself. Such an approach, deﬁned as indirect structural health monitoring (iSHM), aims at offering non- ﬁxed (transferrable or movable or transportable) monitoring capabilities with a relatively small set of roving sensors. The main advantage of using vehicle onboard vibration mea- surements is to avoid the need for dense arrays of sensors installed directly onto bridges. Compared to direct SHM, the indirect approach can provide faster “on-the-go” monitoring implementation that carries the highest possible spatial information for the vibrating bridge (see also [15,16] and the references therein), while, at the same time, avoiding the ﬁxed installations of a large number of sensors that are uniquely placed at each structure. However, iSHM entails a number of challenges that necessitate further research, in particular: The vehicle-acquired measurements are mathematically a function of the dynamic/modal properties of the two mechanical systems involved, the vibrating bridge and the mov- ing vehicle [17,18]. Therefore, the bridge dynamic properties can only be inferred by the highly coupled vehicle-bridge interaction system, while their extraction may be quite a challenging task if the vehicle-acquired data are dominated by the vehicle’s response in real applications (e.g., [19]). The accuracy of the estimated bridge modal properties depends on various factors such as the vehicle speed, the road proﬁle roughness, the acquisition sampling rate, and the spectral resolution, as detailed in [15,16]. It is noted in passing that iSHM measurements are usually combined with geolocation sensors. Other approaches, strictly related to drive-by methods, suggest the exploitation of accelerometers and other sensors found in modern smartphones [20,21]. However, such a solution must deal with constraints associated with data sharing and privacy and data acquisition challenges, linked to lower sampling capacities of mobile phones’ embedded accelerometers that have been designed for other applications than monitoring vibrations in structures and the additional variability of heterogeneous sensors in various manufacturers’ models and nonﬁxed positions in the vehicle. Other methods of iSHM, not covered in this study, rely mostly on external and visual survey of the structures. Such methods include Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) [22], terrestrial and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Photogrammetry [23], Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) [24], and vision-based methods [25,26]. The development of such methods was facilitated by progress made on data elaboration and sensor technology, with improved systems in terms of point cloud resolution, size and accuracy, and automation of data processing by implementing artiﬁcial intelligence (AI) [27]. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 4 of 17 Similar to the implementation of UAVs for screening external damages of structures, the expected advent of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) [28] would offer an automated monitoring solution contributing to the safety of the road infrastructure: a reduced number of CAVs could easily patrol the road network checking for issues not only related to bridges but also to other vital transport infrastructures (e.g., tunnels). Wireless connectivity in CAVs would ensure timely sharing of information to trigger interventions or further analysis. Although data governance legislation in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) era [29] could pose a signiﬁcant challenge in the perspective of the large-scale introduction of CAVs, it is expected that legislation will mature in this ﬁeld, fostering collaboration between authorities and states and also accounting for methods to “anonymize” the data transmitted by CAVs [30]. This paper presents the grounds that could possibly enable the application of CAV- based iSHM in the European infrastructure, focusing on the state of play of policies on connected road mobility, bridge maintenance, and monitoring. Additionally, it discusses the current direction of research within the iSHM paradigm by indicating the current state of the art of technologies and methods. The scope of the latter is to shed some light on the areas of research that could beneﬁt from the use of CAVs for smart infrastructure monitoring, and along this line, to understand how the future use of CAVs could offer novel strategies for improving transportation infrastructure monitoring, on the basis of both ongoing research in iSHM and the current European legislative framework. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the policy framework on CAVs in Europe and further discusses the possibility of using CAVs within the iSHM paradigm by presenting the directions of research in the literature within this ﬁeld. Section 3 presents the way forward for iSHM using CAVs. Finally, Section 4 gives our concluding remarks. 2. State of Play of Research and Policy The condition monitoring of ordinary bridges is a complex task considering that there are thousands of short- to medium-span bridges in Europe and it is unrealistic to plan for comprehensive monitoring with ﬁxed instrumentation and budgetary constraints. Even though sensor cost is ever decreasing, new bridges are yet to be equipped with permanent monitoring systems. Ad hoc solutions are sometimes applied, for example by performing periodic measurements using portable SHM systems [11,31]. An important development in portable SHM applications is the consideration of wireless sensor networks that offer less obtrusive, rapid, and more economical SHM implementations [12], especially for monitoring large-scale and geometrically complex bridges [13,14]. The above advantages are further supported by recent research that addresses the increased energy consumption during wireless data transmission operations [32]. Over the last 25 years, signiﬁcant research has taken place in the ﬁeld of SHM. In addition to the world-leading research studies undertaken in the USA and Asia [33–35], Europe signiﬁcantly contributes with Research and Innovation (R&I) activities [6] that are facilitated by the long tradition in civil engineering ﬁelds such as structural design and structural dynamics. Research on bridge damage identiﬁcation is also developing rapidly, facilitated by novel methods and technologies [36]. In fact, the advent of new technologies, along with the availability of condition monitoring data, allows for SHM implementation for the resilience quantiﬁcation of transport infrastructure [37]. Another aspect worth highlighting is the speciﬁc bridge infrastructure stock in Europe, along with the differences in the monitoring approaches and methods. While on other continents (e.g., North America, particularly the USA) there is a relatively high number of steel bridges, in Europe bridge construction after World War II mainly relied on reinforced concrete and prestressed bridges. The latter—which developed considerably in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland in the 1960s and 1970s—enabled spans of 50–100 m, depending on the bridge form and type of prestressing, i.e., bonded or external [38]. The advantages of concrete over steel are in relation to the exposure to atmospheric elements or cyclic loads, Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 5 of 17 e.g., steel needs continuous protection from corrosion, whereas concrete, in the absence of cracks, in principle protects rebars without additional interventions. Nevertheless, over time and depending on the composition of the concrete and the environmental conditions, concrete loses its protective role against steel corrosion due to carbonation, which leads to a lowering of the alkalinity around the steel, resulting in reinforcement corrosion [39]. In addition, larger-than-predicted losses in precompression forces [40], which can be attributed, among other reasons, to poor models available in the past for the creep and shrinkage of concrete and a lack of proper cable grouting (due to poor quality control during construction in the past), are among the principal threats to prestressed concrete bridges. Thus, the condition of concrete bridge assets is degrading due to aging as they ap- proach the end of their design life. After several years of service, many existing bridges are currently in need of intervention (e.g., strengthening). The latest research and policy developments suggest that CAVs will become a fun- damental component of future European mobility [41]. An additional use case for CAVs is to use data recorded from vehicle onboard sensors to enhance the monitoring of road infrastructure and more efﬁciently plan and manage maintenance work. The remainder of this section focuses on the European background to the application of such solutions, and in particular on the state of play of policies on connected road mobility and bridge iSHM research. 2.1. CAV Policy Outlook in Europe Cooperative, connected, and automated mobility (CCAM) will revolutionize the transport market in many ways, although road transport is where the most signiﬁcant impacts are expected in the short term. For on-road applications, the deﬁnition of increasing driving automation levels is generally based on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J3016 standards [42]. Driver assistance (Levels 1 and 2) is already incorporated in many new vehicles sold in Europe. Self-driving vehicles (Levels 3 and 4) are currently being tested and are expected to enter the market between 2020 and 2030. Fully automated vehicles (Level 5) are unlikely to start entering the market until 2035 at the earliest. By 2023, Level 3 and Level 4 automated functions are expected to account for approximately 0.8% and 2.3%, respectively, of the total vehicles sold globally and by 2030, the global market for privately owned autonomous vehicles (mostly Level 3 and Level 4) is expected to be $60 billion [43]. European policy in this ﬁeld has focused on facilitating a common market for the development and large-scale deployment of CCAM as part of the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy. Since the Declaration of Amsterdam in 2016, different advances have occurred in the ﬁeld, such as the signature of the Letter of Intent in Rome on March 2017, whereby Member States agreed to designate 5G (5th generation mobile networks) corridors to enable cross-border testing of CCAM technologies [44]. The EU supports three 5G cross- border corridor projects for large-scale testing of CCAM through the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G PPP), a joint initiative between the European Commission (EC) and the European ICT industry, co-funded under the “Horizon 2020 Framework Programme” (H2020) [45]. The Commission’s Automated Mobility Strategy, published as part of the “Europe on the Move III” mobility package in May 2018, sets the policy framework for the uptake of automated and connected mobility [46,47]. As part of this strategy, the EC will keep provid- ing ﬁnancial support to stimulate private investment in the development of technologies and infrastructure linked to automated and connected mobility. The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Directive [48] sets the legal framework for the deployment of ITS in road transport to ensure a coordinated implementation of ITS in terms of the compatibility, interoperability, and continuity of ITS solutions across the EU. The ITS Directive also sets a number of policy measures to support accessibility of EU-wide multimodal travel information for ITS users. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 6 of 17 In 2014, the EC launched a C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) De- ployment Platform for the deployment of connected mobility [49]. The objective of the C-ITS platform was to decide how to ensure interoperability across MS borders and along the whole value chain, as well as to identify the most likely vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) services to be deployed across the EU. In 2016 [50], the EC promulgated speciﬁc actions to address challenges in C-ITS implementation, addressing priorities, the communication standards, and cybersecurity issues. Challenges need to be addressed in different technical areas, including [51]: deployment in complex urban environments, across countries, and involving large groups of end users; validation of the operational procedures for large-scale deployment; deﬁnition of test approaches to evaluate the impact of architecture and services. Operationally, the biggest deployment challenge has to do with mobility, particularly how to cope with mixed trafﬁc situations in urban areas [52]. The same study intro- duces European C-ITS services and requirements and proposes operational procedures for deployment at different phases (i.e., during preparation, implementation, deployment, and operation). In March 2019, the EC adopted new rules stepping up the deployment of C-ITS in the form of a delegated act, which is based on the ITS Directive. The speciﬁcations establish the minimal legal requirements for interoperability between the various cooperative systems used [53]. In July 2019, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision to object to the proposal for Delegated Regulation on C-ITS [54]. On the infrastructure side, INFRAMIX, a recently ﬁnished H2020 project, introduces a simple classiﬁcation scheme, similar to SAE levels: Infrastructure Support Levels for Automated Driving (ISAD). ISAD levels can be assigned to parts of the network to provide automated vehicles and their operators with guidance on the “readiness” of the road network for the future highway automation era [55]. 2.2. Research Perspectives for iSHM Using CAVs Following the above developments on CCAM, the question arises of whether the data collected from CAVs can be used to enhance the monitoring of road infrastructure and deploy maintenance based on the iSHM paradigm. This hypothesis is driven by the fact that CCAM can provide a wealth of data (often in real time), which could potentially be used to complement data from ad hoc monitoring systems, or could even represent the main monitoring source when other stationary systems are not available. For example, CCAM could collect infrastructure-related data originating from a variety of sensing units embedded within automated vehicles, such as inertial measurement units that record acceleration signals in six dimensions (three translational and three rotational), cameras, and Global Positioning System (GPS). It is noted that such smart sensing units are gaining ground within the SHM framework in line with the advent of novel sensing technologies (e.g., smartphones, cameras, and mobile/robotic sensors). An extended review of SHM ap- plications based on smart sensing units can be found in [56], while [57] discusses the use of such technologies for vehicle-assisted SHM. It is recognized that certain smart technologies (e.g., smartphones and cameras) have been developed for different type of applications and therefore may face certain limitations compared to traditional sensing monitoring units for SHM (e.g., low sensitivity, high input noise in slow acquisition sampling rate from smartphone-embedded accelerometers [58], and low-resolution cameras). Nonetheless, the ever-increasing development of sensor technologies may prove a promising tool for future indirect infrastructural monitoring operations using CAVs. The connected mobility is another aspect of CCAM that can potentially beneﬁt future iSHM deployments using CAVs. On the one hand, connected mobility allows for commu- nication between the vehicle and the infrastructure to exchange important information on the conditions of the road (e.g., trafﬁc, car accidents, and environmental conditions) [59]. Within the iSHM, this can be extended to communication via the interaction of the vehicle Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 7 of 17 and the underlying bridge to exchange information on the dynamic response and the integrity/“health” condition of the latter. On the other hand, connected mobility entails vehicle-to-vehicle communication, which can be viewed as decentralized wireless Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) collecting high spatial resolution information from the acqui- sition of infrastructural data. VANETs can be rendered useful within iSHM, considering cross-correlation operations on data acquired from different vehicles, which could lead to optimized data acquisition schemes (e.g., the sub-Nyquist sampling scheme, as in [32]) or could offer data to address the issue of loss of information due to wireless communication. Despite the potential advantages of CAVs within the iSHM paradigm, their actual use and the related beneﬁts depend on practical issues and constraints such as the quality and quantity of data collected by the vehicle-embedded sensors, security threats, and the availability of sound methodological approaches. Such issues can only be analyzed in a complete way through experimental campaigns whereby sensors are installed on vehicles and measurement campaigns are carried out. 2.3. International Research on iSHM To assess the question posed in the previous section, i.e., whether CAVs can be used for iSHM, it is essential to review the directions of research within this ﬁeld based on the available tools and methods. To achieve this objective, the Scopus database, with strict indexing rules, was used. For the analysis, the following steps were taken: A search was carried out in January 2021 on the title, abstract, and keywords, and lim- ited to journal papers. The exact query used was: TITLE-ABS-KEY ((“Vehicle-Bridge Interaction” AND (“monitoring” OR “shm” OR “i-shm”)) OR ((“passing vehicle” AND bridge AND monitoring) OR ((“drive by”) AND bridge AND monitoring) OR (indirect AND bridge AND (“monitoring” OR “shm”))) AND NOT ((cable OR scour OR suspension OR “train passage”))) AND (LIMIT-TO (SUBJAREA, “ENGI”) OR LIMIT-TO (SUBJAREA, “COMP”)) AND (LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE, “ar”) OR LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE, “re”)). The query resulted in 102 items. A further manual ﬁltering of the documents, based on the title, abstract, or full paper, narrowed down the results to 37 articles, including three review articles. The aim of this ﬁltering was to eliminate those documents that were relevant to the ﬁeld but not relevant to iSHM. Examples include documents related to vehicle-bridge interaction in general or papers focusing on the monitoring of the road surface. Additionally, there have been several cases of lexical ambiguity. All articles were further analyzed on the basis of the full text. Table 1 summarizes the analysis coverage of the task. Table 1. Scientiﬁc analysis coverage overview (source: own elaboration). Scientiﬁc Research Analysis Data origin Scopus dataset Timeframe Documents as of January 2021 Search type Text search on title, abstract, and keywords Manual check and validation of the results based on the abstracts Filtering and, when necessary, on the full papers Thorough analysis of full-text articles and clustering under 29 topics Detailed analysis and subtopics After this step, an attempt was made to quantitatively assess the research under the following topics: “Publication type” (discussion paper; numerical study; scaled experimental; full-scale experimental). “Scope”: Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 8 of 17 # structural modal identification: natural frequencies; mode shapes; damping ratios # damage detection: existence; location; severity # Vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) sensitivity assessment: vehicle speed; road proﬁle; temperature; noise; other. “Vehicle sensor system” (only for experimental studies): car; truck; tractor/trailer system; simulated scaled vehicles. “Vehicle simulation” (only for numerical studies): half-car model; quarter-car model. “Sensing units”: accelerometers; velocity transducers; displacement transducers; GPS; gyroscope; smartphone; other. Consequently, a 29-column matrix was built, covering all the abovementioned topics. Some relevant ﬁndings are reported below. As stated, three of the articles [15,16,57] focus on a review of methods. The remaining 34 articles’ focus was as follows: 17 on numerical analyses [60–76]; ﬁve on experimental analyses: four scaled [77–80] and one full-scale [81]; 12 on both numerical and experimental analyses: nine with scaled experiments [82–90] and three with full-scale [91–93]. It is noted that this exercise is not exhaustive given that a thorough literature review on iSHM (as recently addressed in [57]) is beyond the scope of this paper. Instead, it focuses on immediate ﬁndings that could facilitate research on iSHM with CAVs. Speciﬁcally, information on the ﬁrst two topics, i.e., publication type and scope, can indicate the directions of research within the iSHM community with special attention to the extent and problems addressed in full-scale experimental campaigns. The next three topics (i.e., vehicle sensor system in experimental campaigns, vehicle simulation in numerical studies, and sensing units) can provide insights on the vehicle type and the measurement considerations, paving the way towards the use of CAVs within iSHM. Figure 2 illustrates the connections between (1) the publication scope (structural modal identiﬁcation or damage detection), (2) the publication type, and (3) the sensing units employed. The diagram is normalized with respect to the publication type (see, for example, the scale of the central bars).

Regarding the sensitivity to VBI parameters (Figure 3), numerical studies cover the entire spectrum of sensitivity parameters. The same applies to the experimental scaled campaigns that address all the identiﬁed sensitivity parameters apart from the temperature effect. In fact, temperature variation is considered in only one (numerical) article. Full- scaled experimental studies focus on vehicle speed and road proﬁle variability. The considered literature highlights the limitations at the current stage of research, with the accuracy of the results strongly dependent on: the road proﬁle; the bridge length and type; the interacting vehicle load and geometry; the vehicle speed; the limited interaction time between the vehicle and the bridge; and, the temperature/environmental effects. Furthermore, the majority of experimental studies focus on scaled experiments. Finally, the ﬁndings suggest that, in the papers that include numerical analyses, quarter-car models are implemented in 16 cases, half-car models in 12, and in three cases more complex models are used. Similarly, in studies implementing experimental tests, 13 cases report the use of simulated scaled vehicles, while cars, trucks, and tractor-trailer systems are implemented two times each. From the considered scientiﬁc works, two major challenges can be identiﬁed: The link between research, demonstration, and implementation is weak. Much research is limited to speciﬁc case studies, while the path is long for large-scale implementation, something that would require additional efforts in other aspects (e.g., certiﬁcation). Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 10 of 17 In line with the above, there is a need for full-scale testing of iSHM. The above ﬁndings can channel the vision towards the integration of CAVs into the iSHM paradigm, which is addressed in the next section. 3. The Way Forward for iSHM Using CAVs The policy review on CCAM in Europe, together with the literature overview on iSHM research, provides an initial step for better framing the future development of iSHM solutions with CAVs in Europe. Given the limited real-scale experimental validation of iSHM approaches, together with the various uncertainties involved, we identify the need for further testing including full-scale drive-by experimental campaigns and initial assessment of the following: 1. the dynamic properties of the monitored structure and the moving vehicle; 2. the road roughness proﬁle; 3. the inﬂuence of environmental, temperature, and noise effects. In preparation for the advent and diffusion of CAVs, their future role in infrastructure monitoring can be considered by using vehicles with mounted sensing units and commu- nication devices. Such a solution would allow us to develop a better understanding of the iSHM feasibility from the wealth of data that can be collected while traveling over the struc- tures to be monitored. This task is among the objectives of the ongoing exploratory research project MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicles) within the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC). In the project, the future integration with CAVs will be addressed with in-house solutions already implemented by the JRC for CAV testing and will possibly address the system integration challenges in smart city platforms. In fact, JRC was a frontrunner of CAV research, testing commercial adaptive cruise control (ACC) equipped vehicles at the Ispra site in Italy [94,95]. ACC is the system in charge of maintaining the longitudinal vehicle control, and is fundamental to the Level 1 autonomous vehicles available today in the market. JRC maintains an open database of car-following experiments involving vehicles with ACC systems, containing vehicle trajectories from several car-following experiments, with the objective of providing data about ACC behavior to the whole scientiﬁc community [96]. Moreover, JRC participates in the EU-funded SHOW project that aims to estimate and evaluate the role of CAVs in future urban mobility, deploying CAVs in both mixed trafﬁc and dedicated lines and covering all urban automated mobility needs and all stakeholders’ demands [97]. This kind of solution can also be tested within the mobility living lab in the JRC to test future mobility solutions, including vehicle connectivity and communication [98]. Another crucial issue that should be the subject of a dedicated study is data privacy. While access to mobile phone data is limited today by the GDPR, access to autonomous vehicles’ data is being regulated at both an EU and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) level [99] to support, among other things, road safety strategies, which are strictly linked to the condition of the road infrastructure. Additionally, considering that the current approaches for automated vehicles certiﬁcation [100] aim to establish a dedicated legislative instrument, a future regulatory framework for iSHM using CAVs could adopt less stringent rules, possibly facilitating information-sharing for public safety purposes. This would lead to a practical advantage of CAVs over the use of mobile phones when exploiting crowdsourced data to both minimize the impact of measurement errors and reach a wide monitoring coverage of European transportation infrastructure. A Commission Decision [101] and the Communication on an EU strategy for mobility of the future [47] have outlined the importance of having access to in-vehicle generated data for road operation purposes, which could include road and bridge maintenance. However, topics such as the reuse of data, privacy by default and by design, data minimization, and security are part of ongoing work by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on the topic of connected vehicles [102], taking into consideration Directive 2010/40/EU [48] and the wider legal framework.

Discussion and Conclusions 4. Discussion and Conclusions After a review of the iSHM research and relevant European policies, this paper identiﬁed issues and challenges, and provided a general outline for the development and adoption of CAV-based iSHM Europe. First, the role of European policies is identiﬁed as crucial. Adequate policies need to facilitate the advent of novel means of monitoring infrastructures, taking into account the European ambitions for safe, secure, and future-proof transport infrastructure [103]. In the absence of a policy supporting background and future legislative acts at the national level, scientiﬁc or technological solutions alone will not be able to achieve the goal of safe transport infrastructure. Second, we found, through the scientiﬁc studies considered, that some issues need to be thoroughly investigated for the successful implementation of iSHM strategies. In particular, the literature ﬁndings suggested that additional research is necessary for better identiﬁcation of structural deﬁciencies through drive-by monitoring. This includes a better understanding of the inﬂuence of the road roughness proﬁle, the bridge length and type, the interacting vehicle load and geometry, the vehicle speed, the interaction time between the vehicle and the bridge, the temperature, and other environmental effects. Regarding the role of European policies, the policy background identiﬁed in this study highlights the necessary policy enablers to bring forward iSHM solutions with CAVs in Europe. Considering the fast pace of technology, future policies should be developed in parallel to technological developments in the ﬁeld. Scientiﬁc research, such as the JRC MITICA project, must ﬁnd solutions to the iden- tiﬁed technical challenges, with the inclusion of themes and results from the ongoing research on connected mobility, accounting for legislative needs. Further research on iSHM with drive-by vehicles is a ﬁrst step in CAV infrastructure monitoring, taking advantage of new technologies that are expected to be available on the market in the future, namely vehicle connectivity and automation. This vision is fully aligned with the current and future EC strategies, in particular the recent headline ambition to make Europe ﬁt for the digital age. The latter has been adopted in the “European Commission’s 2020 Work Programme” [104] and was made possible via the new European data strategy that focuses on the availability of data for the public good [105]. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 12 of 17 The integrated approach employed in this study (which considers both policy and tech- nical or scientiﬁc developments in the ﬁeld) aims at encouraging the future implementation of iSHM with CAVs, beyond the boundaries set by a strictly scientiﬁc exercise.

However, data and monitoring systems may not be readily available to support strategic decisions or they may require costly installations in terms of time and labor requirements. In recent years, the possibility of monitoring bridges by indirectly sensing relevant parameters from traveling vehicles has emerged—an approach that would allow for the elimination of the costly installation of sensors and monitoring campaigns. The advantages of cooperative, connected, and automated mobility (CCAM), which is expected to become a reality in Europe towards the end of this decade, should therefore be considered for the future development of iSHM strategies. A critical review of methods and strategies for CCAM, including Intelligent Transportation Systems, is a prerequisite for moving towards the goal of identifying the synergies between CCAM and civil infrastructures, in line with future developments in vehicle automation.

Given the number of assets and the limited existing structures that were designed and constructed with design methods, knowledge, resources, it is important to define priorities and strategies to monitor and evaluate the and technology that are now out-of-date. Such strategies are also becoming an urgent need for aged and heavily loaded infrastructure that is subject to intensive use and higher trafﬁc loads compared to the design provisions in the year of construction. The existing infrastructure is further subject to additional loading conditions due to climate change (in Bridges with deficiencies (%) Bridges (%) Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 3 of 17 Europe, principally due to excessive ﬂooding and snow), while its construction materials are prone to degradation due to pollution and other environmental conditions. Traditional/direct SHM can be time-demanding and costly due to labor expenses and installation demands, especially when monitoring large-scale bridges using wired sensor networks that require complex installations of long cables [11]. Alternatively, solutions based on wireless sensor networks for SHM can provide low-cost and faster implemen- tation as wireless sensor units can be placed at remote locations of large-scale bridges provided that their power source is supplied by either batteries or energy-harvesting solutions [12–14]. Nonetheless, the adoption of wireless sensors can be limited by chal- lenges in the power autonomy of sensor nodes (this, in particular, is highly dependent on acquisition rates and transmission distances), bandwidth limitations, and communica- tions challenges (e.g., range of communication, interference) during wireless transmission of data. Aiming to provide alternatives and overcome constraints in traditional SHM systems, several indirect SHM methods (i.e., methods that do not require the installation of sensors on bridges) have been explored, and some have been introduced and implemented in recent years. Within the paradigm of indirect methods, one of the novel approaches being explored in bridges relies on vehicles with mounted sensors capable of recording signals associated with the structural/bridge response while traveling over the structure itself. Such an approach, deﬁned as indirect structural health monitoring (iSHM), aims at offering non- ﬁxed (transferrable or movable or transportable) monitoring capabilities with a relatively small set of roving sensors. The main advantage of using vehicle onboard vibration mea- surements is to avoid the need for dense arrays of sensors installed directly onto bridges. Compared to direct SHM, the indirect approach can provide faster “on-the-go” monitoring implementation that carries the highest possible spatial information for the vibrating bridge (see also [15,16] and the references therein), while, at the same time, avoiding the ﬁxed installations of a large number of sensors that are uniquely placed at each structure. However, iSHM entails a number of challenges that necessitate further research, in particular: The vehicle-acquired measurements are mathematically a function of the dynamic/modal properties of the two mechanical systems involved, the vibrating bridge and the mov- ing vehicle [17,18]. Therefore, the bridge dynamic properties can only be inferred by the highly coupled vehicle-bridge interaction system, while their extraction may be quite a challenging task if the vehicle-acquired data are dominated by the vehicle’s response in real applications (e.g., [19]). The accuracy of the estimated bridge modal properties depends on various factors such as the vehicle speed, the road proﬁle roughness, the acquisition sampling rate, and the spectral resolution, as detailed in [15,16]. It is noted in passing that iSHM measurements are usually combined with geolocation sensors. Other approaches, strictly related to drive-by methods, suggest the exploitation of accelerometers and other sensors found in modern smartphones [20,21]. However, such a solution must deal with constraints associated with data sharing and privacy and data acquisition challenges, linked to lower sampling capacities of mobile phones’ embedded accelerometers that have been designed for other applications than monitoring vibrations in structures and the additional variability of heterogeneous sensors in various manufacturers’ models and nonﬁxed positions in the vehicle. Other methods of iSHM, not covered in this study, rely mostly on external and visual survey of the structures. Such methods include Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) [22], terrestrial and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Photogrammetry [23], Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) [24], and vision-based methods [25,26]. The development of such methods was facilitated by progress made on data elaboration and sensor technology, with improved systems in terms of point cloud resolution, size and accuracy, and automation of data processing by implementing artiﬁcial intelligence (AI) [27]. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 4 of 17 Similar to the implementation of UAVs for screening external damages of structures, the expected advent of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) [28] would offer an automated monitoring solution contributing to the safety of the road infrastructure: a reduced number of CAVs could easily patrol the road network checking for issues not only related to bridges but also to other vital transport infrastructures (e.g., tunnels). Wireless connectivity in CAVs would ensure timely sharing of information to trigger interventions or further analysis. Although data governance legislation in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) era [29] could pose a signiﬁcant challenge in the perspective of the large-scale introduction of CAVs, it is expected that legislation will mature in this ﬁeld, fostering collaboration between authorities and states and also accounting for methods to “anonymize” the data transmitted by CAVs [30]. This paper presents the grounds that could possibly enable the application of CAV- based iSHM in the European infrastructure, focusing on the state of play of policies on connected road mobility, bridge maintenance, and monitoring. Additionally, it discusses the current direction of research within the iSHM paradigm by indicating the current state of the art of technologies and methods. The scope of the latter is to shed some light on the areas of research that could beneﬁt from the use of CAVs for smart infrastructure monitoring, and along this line, to understand how the future use of CAVs could offer novel strategies for improving transportation infrastructure monitoring, on the basis of both ongoing research in iSHM and the current European legislative framework. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the policy framework on CAVs in Europe and further discusses the possibility of using CAVs within the iSHM paradigm by presenting the directions of research in the literature within this ﬁeld. Section 3 presents the way forward for iSHM using CAVs. Finally, Section 4 gives our concluding remarks. 2. State of Play of Research and Policy The condition monitoring of ordinary bridges is a complex task considering that there are thousands of short- to medium-span bridges in Europe and it is unrealistic to plan for comprehensive monitoring with ﬁxed instrumentation and budgetary constraints. Even though sensor cost is ever decreasing, new bridges are yet to be equipped with permanent monitoring systems. Ad hoc solutions are sometimes applied, for example by performing periodic measurements using portable SHM systems [11,31]. An important development in portable SHM applications is the consideration of wireless sensor networks that offer less obtrusive, rapid, and more economical SHM implementations [12], especially for monitoring large-scale and geometrically complex bridges [13,14]. The above advantages are further supported by recent research that addresses the increased energy consumption during wireless data transmission operations [32]. Over the last 25 years, signiﬁcant research has taken place in the ﬁeld of SHM. In addition to the world-leading research studies undertaken in the USA and Asia [33–35], Europe signiﬁcantly contributes with Research and Innovation (R&I) activities [6] that are facilitated by the long tradition in civil engineering ﬁelds such as structural design and structural dynamics. Research on bridge damage identiﬁcation is also developing rapidly, facilitated by novel methods and technologies [36]. In fact, the advent of new technologies, along with the availability of condition monitoring data, allows for SHM implementation for the resilience quantiﬁcation of transport infrastructure [37]. Another aspect worth highlighting is the speciﬁc bridge infrastructure stock in Europe, along with the differences in the monitoring approaches and methods. While on other continents (e.g., North America, particularly the USA) there is a relatively high number of steel bridges, in Europe bridge construction after World War II mainly relied on reinforced concrete and prestressed bridges. The latter—which developed considerably in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland in the 1960s and 1970s—enabled spans of 50–100 m, depending on the bridge form and type of prestressing, i.e., bonded or external [38]. The advantages of concrete over steel are in relation to the exposure to atmospheric elements or cyclic loads, Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 5 of 17 e.g., steel needs continuous protection from corrosion, whereas concrete, in the absence of cracks, in principle protects rebars without additional interventions. Nevertheless, over time and depending on the composition of the concrete and the environmental conditions, concrete loses its protective role against steel corrosion due to carbonation, which leads to a lowering of the alkalinity around the steel, resulting in reinforcement corrosion [39]. In addition, larger-than-predicted losses in precompression forces [40], which can be attributed, among other reasons, to poor models available in the past for the creep and shrinkage of concrete and a lack of proper cable grouting (due to poor quality control during construction in the past), are among the principal threats to prestressed concrete bridges. Thus, the condition of concrete bridge assets is degrading due to aging as they ap- proach the end of their design life. After several years of service, many existing bridges are currently in need of intervention (e.g., strengthening). The latest research and policy developments suggest that CAVs will become a fun- damental component of future European mobility [41]. An additional use case for CAVs is to use data recorded from vehicle onboard sensors to enhance the monitoring of road infrastructure and more efﬁciently plan and manage maintenance work. The remainder of this section focuses on the European background to the application of such solutions, and in particular on the state of play of policies on connected road mobility and bridge iSHM research. 2.1. CAV Policy Outlook in Europe Cooperative, connected, and automated mobility (CCAM) will revolutionize the transport market in many ways, although road transport is where the most signiﬁcant impacts are expected in the short term. For on-road applications, the deﬁnition of increasing driving automation levels is generally based on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J3016 standards [42]. Driver assistance (Levels 1 and 2) is already incorporated in many new vehicles sold in Europe. Self-driving vehicles (Levels 3 and 4) are currently being tested and are expected to enter the market between 2020 and 2030. Fully automated vehicles (Level 5) are unlikely to start entering the market until 2035 at the earliest. By 2023, Level 3 and Level 4 automated functions are expected to account for approximately 0.8% and 2.3%, respectively, of the total vehicles sold globally and by 2030, the global market for privately owned autonomous vehicles (mostly Level 3 and Level 4) is expected to be $60 billion [43]. European policy in this ﬁeld has focused on facilitating a common market for the development and large-scale deployment of CCAM as part of the Digital Single Market (DSM) strategy. Since the Declaration of Amsterdam in 2016, different advances have occurred in the ﬁeld, such as the signature of the Letter of Intent in Rome on March 2017, whereby Member States agreed to designate 5G (5th generation mobile networks) corridors to enable cross-border testing of CCAM technologies [44]. The EU supports three 5G cross- border corridor projects for large-scale testing of CCAM through the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G PPP), a joint initiative between the European Commission (EC) and the European ICT industry, co-funded under the “Horizon 2020 Framework Programme” (H2020) [45]. The Commission’s Automated Mobility Strategy, published as part of the “Europe on the Move III” mobility package in May 2018, sets the policy framework for the uptake of automated and connected mobility [46,47]. As part of this strategy, the EC will keep provid- ing ﬁnancial support to stimulate private investment in the development of technologies and infrastructure linked to automated and connected mobility. The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Directive [48] sets the legal framework for the deployment of ITS in road transport to ensure a coordinated implementation of ITS in terms of the compatibility, interoperability, and continuity of ITS solutions across the EU. The ITS Directive also sets a number of policy measures to support accessibility of EU-wide multimodal travel information for ITS users. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 6 of 17 In 2014, the EC launched a C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) De- ployment Platform for the deployment of connected mobility [49]. The objective of the C-ITS platform was to decide how to ensure interoperability across MS borders and along the whole value chain, as well as to identify the most likely vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) services to be deployed across the EU. In 2016 [50], the EC promulgated speciﬁc actions to address challenges in C-ITS implementation, addressing priorities, the communication standards, and cybersecurity issues. Challenges need to be addressed in different technical areas, including [51]: deployment in complex urban environments, across countries, and involving large groups of end users; validation of the operational procedures for large-scale deployment; deﬁnition of test approaches to evaluate the impact of architecture and services. Operationally, the biggest deployment challenge has to do with mobility, particularly how to cope with mixed trafﬁc situations in urban areas [52]. The same study intro- duces European C-ITS services and requirements and proposes operational procedures for deployment at different phases (i.e., during preparation, implementation, deployment, and operation). In March 2019, the EC adopted new rules stepping up the deployment of C-ITS in the form of a delegated act, which is based on the ITS Directive. The speciﬁcations establish the minimal legal requirements for interoperability between the various cooperative systems used [53]. In July 2019, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision to object to the proposal for Delegated Regulation on C-ITS [54]. On the infrastructure side, INFRAMIX, a recently ﬁnished H2020 project, introduces a simple classiﬁcation scheme, similar to SAE levels: Infrastructure Support Levels for Automated Driving (ISAD). ISAD levels can be assigned to parts of the network to provide automated vehicles and their operators with guidance on the “readiness” of the road network for the future highway automation era [55]. 2.2. Research Perspectives for iSHM Using CAVs Following the above developments on CCAM, the question arises of whether the data collected from CAVs can be used to enhance the monitoring of road infrastructure and deploy maintenance based on the iSHM paradigm. This hypothesis is driven by the fact that CCAM can provide a wealth of data (often in real time), which could potentially be used to complement data from ad hoc monitoring systems, or could even represent the main monitoring source when other stationary systems are not available. For example, CCAM could collect infrastructure-related data originating from a variety of sensing units embedded within automated vehicles, such as inertial measurement units that record acceleration signals in six dimensions (three translational and three rotational), cameras, and Global Positioning System (GPS). It is noted that such smart sensing units are gaining ground within the SHM framework in line with the advent of novel sensing technologies (e.g., smartphones, cameras, and mobile/robotic sensors). An extended review of SHM ap- plications based on smart sensing units can be found in [56], while [57] discusses the use of such technologies for vehicle-assisted SHM. It is recognized that certain smart technologies (e.g., smartphones and cameras) have been developed for different type of applications and therefore may face certain limitations compared to traditional sensing monitoring units for SHM (e.g., low sensitivity, high input noise in slow acquisition sampling rate from smartphone-embedded accelerometers [58], and low-resolution cameras). Nonetheless, the ever-increasing development of sensor technologies may prove a promising tool for future indirect infrastructural monitoring operations using CAVs. The connected mobility is another aspect of CCAM that can potentially beneﬁt future iSHM deployments using CAVs. On the one hand, connected mobility allows for commu- nication between the vehicle and the infrastructure to exchange important information on the conditions of the road (e.g., trafﬁc, car accidents, and environmental conditions) [59]. Within the iSHM, this can be extended to communication via the interaction of the vehicle Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 7 of 17 and the underlying bridge to exchange information on the dynamic response and the integrity/“health” condition of the latter. On the other hand, connected mobility entails vehicle-to-vehicle communication, which can be viewed as decentralized wireless Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) collecting high spatial resolution information from the acqui- sition of infrastructural data. VANETs can be rendered useful within iSHM, considering cross-correlation operations on data acquired from different vehicles, which could lead to optimized data acquisition schemes (e.g., the sub-Nyquist sampling scheme, as in [32]) or could offer data to address the issue of loss of information due to wireless communication. Despite the potential advantages of CAVs within the iSHM paradigm, their actual use and the related beneﬁts depend on practical issues and constraints such as the quality and quantity of data collected by the vehicle-embedded sensors, security threats, and the availability of sound methodological approaches. Such issues can only be analyzed in a complete way through experimental campaigns whereby sensors are installed on vehicles and measurement campaigns are carried out. 2.3. International Research on iSHM To assess the question posed in the previous section, i.e., whether CAVs can be used for iSHM, it is essential to review the directions of research within this ﬁeld based on the available tools and methods. To achieve this objective, the Scopus database, with strict indexing rules, was used. For the analysis, the following steps were taken: A search was carried out in January 2021 on the title, abstract, and keywords, and lim- ited to journal papers. The exact query used was: TITLE-ABS-KEY ((“Vehicle-Bridge Interaction” AND (“monitoring” OR “shm” OR “i-shm”)) OR ((“passing vehicle” AND bridge AND monitoring) OR ((“drive by”) AND bridge AND monitoring) OR (indirect AND bridge AND (“monitoring” OR “shm”))) AND NOT ((cable OR scour OR suspension OR “train passage”))) AND (LIMIT-TO (SUBJAREA, “ENGI”) OR LIMIT-TO (SUBJAREA, “COMP”)) AND (LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE, “ar”) OR LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE, “re”)). The query resulted in 102 items. A further manual ﬁltering of the documents, based on the title, abstract, or full paper, narrowed down the results to 37 articles, including three review articles. The aim of this ﬁltering was to eliminate those documents that were relevant to the ﬁeld but not relevant to iSHM. Examples include documents related to vehicle-bridge interaction in general or papers focusing on the monitoring of the road surface. Additionally, there have been several cases of lexical ambiguity. All articles were further analyzed on the basis of the full text. Table 1 summarizes the analysis coverage of the task. Table 1. Scientiﬁc analysis coverage overview (source: own elaboration). Scientiﬁc Research Analysis Data origin Scopus dataset Timeframe Documents as of January 2021 Search type Text search on title, abstract, and keywords Manual check and validation of the results based on the abstracts Filtering and, when necessary, on the full papers Thorough analysis of full-text articles and clustering under 29 topics Detailed analysis and subtopics After this step, an attempt was made to quantitatively assess the research under the following topics: “Publication type” (discussion paper; numerical study; scaled experimental; full-scale experimental). “Scope”: Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 8 of 17 # structural modal identification: natural frequencies; mode shapes; damping ratios # damage detection: existence; location; severity # Vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) sensitivity assessment: vehicle speed; road proﬁle; temperature; noise; other. “Vehicle sensor system” (only for experimental studies): car; truck; tractor/trailer system; simulated scaled vehicles. “Vehicle simulation” (only for numerical studies): half-car model; quarter-car model. “Sensing units”: accelerometers; velocity transducers; displacement transducers; GPS; gyroscope; smartphone; other. Consequently, a 29-column matrix was built, covering all the abovementioned topics. Some relevant ﬁndings are reported below. As stated, three of the articles [15,16,57] focus on a review of methods. The remaining 34 articles’ focus was as follows: 17 on numerical analyses [60–76]; ﬁve on experimental analyses: four scaled [77–80] and one full-scale [81]; 12 on both numerical and experimental analyses: nine with scaled experiments [82–90] and three with full-scale [91–93]. It is noted that this exercise is not exhaustive given that a thorough literature review on iSHM (as recently addressed in [57]) is beyond the scope of this paper. Instead, it focuses on immediate ﬁndings that could facilitate research on iSHM with CAVs. Speciﬁcally, information on the ﬁrst two topics, i.e., publication type and scope, can indicate the directions of research within the iSHM community with special attention to the extent and problems addressed in full-scale experimental campaigns. The next three topics (i.e., vehicle sensor system in experimental campaigns, vehicle simulation in numerical studies, and sensing units) can provide insights on the vehicle type and the measurement considerations, paving the way towards the use of CAVs within iSHM. Figure 2 illustrates the connections between (1) the publication scope (structural modal identiﬁcation or damage detection), (2) the publication type, and (3) the sensing units employed. The diagram is normalized with respect to the publication type (see, for example, the scale of the central bars).

In fact, temperature variation is considered in only one (numerical) article. Full- scaled experimental studies focus on vehicle speed and road proﬁle variability. The considered literature highlights the limitations at the current stage of research, with the accuracy of the results strongly dependent on: the road proﬁle; the bridge length and type; the interacting vehicle load and geometry; the vehicle speed; the limited interaction time between the vehicle and the bridge; and, the temperature/environmental effects. Furthermore, the majority of experimental studies focus on scaled experiments. Finally, the ﬁndings suggest that, in the papers that include numerical analyses, quarter-car models are implemented in 16 cases, half-car models in 12, and in three cases more complex models are used. Similarly, in studies implementing experimental tests, 13 cases report the use of simulated scaled vehicles, while cars, trucks, and tractor-trailer systems are implemented two times each. From the considered scientiﬁc works, two major challenges can be identiﬁed: The link between research, demonstration, and implementation is weak. Much research is limited to speciﬁc case studies, while the path is long for large-scale implementation, something that would require additional efforts in other aspects (e.g., certiﬁcation). Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 10 of 17 In line with the above, there is a need for full-scale testing of iSHM. The above ﬁndings can channel the vision towards the integration of CAVs into the iSHM paradigm, which is addressed in the next section. 3. The Way Forward for iSHM Using CAVs The policy review on CCAM in Europe, together with the literature overview on iSHM research, provides an initial step for better framing the future development of iSHM solutions with CAVs in Europe. Given the limited real-scale experimental validation of iSHM approaches, together with the various uncertainties involved, we identify the need for further testing including full-scale drive-by experimental campaigns and initial assessment of the following: 1. the dynamic properties of the monitored structure and the moving vehicle; 2. the road roughness proﬁle; 3. the inﬂuence of environmental, temperature, and noise effects. In preparation for the advent and diffusion of CAVs, their future role in infrastructure monitoring can be considered by using vehicles with mounted sensing units and commu- nication devices. Such a solution would allow us to develop a better understanding of the iSHM feasibility from the wealth of data that can be collected while traveling over the struc- tures to be monitored. This task is among the objectives of the ongoing exploratory research project MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated vehicles) within the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC). In the project, the future integration with CAVs will be addressed with in-house solutions already implemented by the JRC for CAV testing and will possibly address the system integration challenges in smart city platforms. In fact, JRC was a frontrunner of CAV research, testing commercial adaptive cruise control (ACC) equipped vehicles at the Ispra site in Italy [94,95]. ACC is the system in charge of maintaining the longitudinal vehicle control, and is fundamental to the Level 1 autonomous vehicles available today in the market. JRC maintains an open database of car-following experiments involving vehicles with ACC systems, containing vehicle trajectories from several car-following experiments, with the objective of providing data about ACC behavior to the whole scientiﬁc community [96]. Moreover, JRC participates in the EU-funded SHOW project that aims to estimate and evaluate the role of CAVs in future urban mobility, deploying CAVs in both mixed trafﬁc and dedicated lines and covering all urban automated mobility needs and all stakeholders’ demands [97]. This kind of solution can also be tested within the mobility living lab in the JRC to test future mobility solutions, including vehicle connectivity and communication [98]. Another crucial issue that should be the subject of a dedicated study is data privacy. While access to mobile phone data is limited today by the GDPR, access to autonomous vehicles’ data is being regulated at both an EU and United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) level [99] to support, among other things, road safety strategies, which are strictly linked to the condition of the road infrastructure. Additionally, considering that the current approaches for automated vehicles certiﬁcation [100] aim to establish a dedicated legislative instrument, a future regulatory framework for iSHM using CAVs could adopt less stringent rules, possibly facilitating information-sharing for public safety purposes. This would lead to a practical advantage of CAVs over the use of mobile phones when exploiting crowdsourced data to both minimize the impact of measurement errors and reach a wide monitoring coverage of European transportation infrastructure. A Commission Decision [101] and the Communication on an EU strategy for mobility of the future [47] have outlined the importance of having access to in-vehicle generated data for road operation purposes, which could include road and bridge maintenance. However, topics such as the reuse of data, privacy by default and by design, data minimization, and security are part of ongoing work by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on the topic of connected vehicles [102], taking into consideration Directive 2010/40/EU [48] and the wider legal framework.

Discussion and Conclusions 4. Discussion and Conclusions After a review of the iSHM research and relevant European policies, this paper identiﬁed issues and challenges, and provided a general outline for the development and adoption of CAV-based iSHM Europe. First, the role of European policies is identiﬁed as crucial. Adequate policies need to facilitate the advent of novel means of monitoring infrastructures, taking into account the European ambitions for safe, secure, and future-proof transport infrastructure [103]. In the absence of a policy supporting background and future legislative acts at the national level, scientiﬁc or technological solutions alone will not be able to achieve the goal of safe transport infrastructure. Second, we found, through the scientiﬁc studies considered, that some issues need to be thoroughly investigated for the successful implementation of iSHM strategies. In particular, the literature ﬁndings suggested that additional research is necessary for better identiﬁcation of structural deﬁciencies through drive-by monitoring. This includes a better understanding of the inﬂuence of the road roughness proﬁle, the bridge length and type, the interacting vehicle load and geometry, the vehicle speed, the interaction time between the vehicle and the bridge, the temperature, and other environmental effects. Regarding the role of European policies, the policy background identiﬁed in this study highlights the necessary policy enablers to bring forward iSHM solutions with CAVs in Europe. Considering the fast pace of technology, future policies should be developed in parallel to technological developments in the ﬁeld. Scientiﬁc research, such as the JRC MITICA project, must ﬁnd solutions to the iden- tiﬁed technical challenges, with the inclusion of themes and results from the ongoing research on connected mobility, accounting for legislative needs. Further research on iSHM with drive-by vehicles is a ﬁrst step in CAV infrastructure monitoring, taking advantage of new technologies that are expected to be available on the market in the future, namely vehicle connectivity and automation. This vision is fully aligned with the current and future EC strategies, in particular the recent headline ambition to make Europe ﬁt for the digital age. The latter has been adopted in the “European Commission’s 2020 Work Programme” [104] and was made possible via the new European data strategy that focuses on the availability of data for the public good [105]. Infrastructures 2021, 6, 43 12 of 17 The integrated approach employed in this study (which considers both policy and tech- nical or scientiﬁc developments in the ﬁeld) aims at encouraging the future implementation of iSHM with CAVs, beyond the boundaries set by a strictly scientiﬁc exercise.
