Abstract
In 2018 a collaborative project between Politecnico di Milano (PoliMI) and Regione Lombardia (RL) was launched to join forces and expertise toward the improvement of the regional transport infrastructures maintenance management. The general goal of the project is the development of a risk-based maintenance prioritization methodology supported by information retrieved by inspection and monitoring operations. The focus of this paper is on the illustration of the monitoring regional (MoRe) guidelines, developed within the project, to provide general guidance on the design and implementation of monitoring systems for road and riverine bridges. They tackle the entire monitoring process from the analyses of the monitoring goals and the preliminary investigations to the identification of the phenomena and relevant indicators to monitor, up to the selection of monitoring devices and the presentation of results. A short illustration of the pilot monitoring systems installed on nine bridges on the Lombardia roadway network concludes the paper.
