Particular attention is on self-monitoring capabilities of the infrastructure and the potential for self-reporting of infrastructure condition through the increasing use of lCT that is standard within transport means. The major challenges for self-monitoring are the compatibility and multi-scalar aggregation, wireless capabilities, multipurpose functionality(e.g. operations, wIM, repair monitoring etc.) as well as the delivery of performance indicators in asset management systems. These issues should include sensor choice and placement, generic and customizable ICT architecture for easy deployment, environmental(thermal, moisture, etc. and electromagnetic compatibility(EMc), nuisance rejection and on-board processing.
