Abstract
A robotic inspection system for bridge suspender cables includes a sensing device and a transport vehicle. The transport vehicle is configured to move the sensing device along a bridge suspender cable for taking main magnetic flux (MMF) readings as the sensing device moves along the bridge suspender cable. The system also includes a control station configured to wirelessly interface with the sensing device and the transport vehicle. In addition, the control station is configured to generate a bridge cable condition assessment report from the MMF readings to identify locations and sizes of deterioration of the bridge suspender cable.
