Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for a sensor enabled geogrid for the monitoring and detection of subgrade deformation in infrastructure such as roadways, railways, working platforms, and marine applications. The system and methods contain a sensor enabled geogrid, inertial measurement units (IMUs), one or more sensors, a data collection apparatus such as a sensor pod, an information transmission apparatus such as a gateway device, a communications network, and a computing device capable of performing analytics on information from the IMU's and other sensors. The disclosure further includes methods of processing information received from a sensor enabled geogrid by a sensor pod. In the example, the sensor pod transmits received information to a gateway device for transmitting to a backend computing system. The backend computing system then performs an analysis on the information to determine variance from an initial sensor position, and alerts of possible infrastructure failure.
