		Real-time bridge monitoring with up to centimeter-level precision has a time delay of approximately two seconds for display of bridge motions in the monitoring room due to data transmission, processing, and graphical conversion times.
		To fully monitor bridge structural health, we must be able to see structural response to such conditions (whose time of occurrence is captured by other sensors) within this 30 millisecond timeframe.
		As there is no bridge sensory system to measure the dynamic train loading, railway load and response monitoring is carried out indirectly with strain gauges installed in the longitudinal I -girders.
