Abstract

In this study, we employed a novel system combining massively parallel FMCW Laser Radar and Laser Doppler Vibrometry to monitor and analyze the structural vibrations of La Marota Viaduct, as part of a multi-year structural health monitoring project for high-speed railway infrastructure near Almodovar del Rio in southern Spain. The system features 128 parallel channels capable of non-contact velocity and displacement measurements with 40 kHz sampling rate, allowing the real-time capture of dynamic structural behavior across a wide range of frequencies from a single installation point. The optical measurements were in good agreement with the numerical models and the accelerometer and strain gauge results. The exceptional sensitivity of the interferometry-based technique, particularly in low-frequency domains below 2 Hz, combined with the large number of measurement points offers the potential for superior model performance compared to traditional accelerometer setups. The high resolution and rapid acquisition capabilities of the system facilitated detailed analysis of the bridge's vibrational modes, providing insights into structural health and potential areas of concern.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-06:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 4.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 4 (PlumX).
