4. ABSTRACT
The "Intelligent Flood-Resilient Bridge: Count Monitoring and Automatic Elevation Adjustment"
project introduces a transformative solution for flood-prone areas. This cutting-edge bridge system
integrates advanced count monitoring technology to ensure structural integrity. In response to rising
floodwaters, the system autonomously adjusts its elevation, mitigating traffic disruptions and enhancing
safety. By seamlessly combining engineering innovation and smart technology, this project addresses the
growing challenges posed by climate change-induced floods, fortifying critical transportation arteries
and safeguarding communities. It represents a pioneering approach to resilient infrastructure,
emphasizing adaptability and reliability in the face of unpredictable environmental threats. Footstep
power generation using piezoelectric plates captures the kinetic energy generated by human footsteps,
converting it into electrical energy for various applications, including lighting and charging devices, in a
sustainable and eco-friendly manner.

5. Working of proposed model
 Continuously monitoring the bridge's weight by the form of pedestrians count-bearing capacity using embedded
sensors.
 Analyzing real-time data to assess the structural stress and integrity of the bridge.
 Detecting rising floodwaters through on-site sensors or external weather monitoring systems.
 Initiating automatic elevation adjustments using lifting mechanisms to raise the bridge above flood levels.
 Redirecting traffic during elevation adjustments to ensure commuter safety and minimize disruptions.
 Communicating vital updates to local authorities and motorists, optimizing flood response and infrastructure
resilience.
 Footstep power generation using piezoelectric plates captures the kinetic energy generated by human footsteps,
converting it into electrical energy for various applications, including lighting and charging devices, in a
sustainable and eco-friendly manner.

6. Advantages
1.Enhanced Safety: Protects lives by elevating the bridge automatically during floods, reducing the risk of
accidents and stranded motorists.
2.Minimal Disruption: Maintains traffic flow by swiftly adapting to flood conditions, minimizing travel delays
and economic disruptions.
3.Infrastructure Durability: Extends the lifespan of the bridge by preventing flood-related damage, reducing
maintenance and repair costs.
4.Efficient Resource Allocation: Optimizes the use of emergency resources by mitigating the need for
immediate flood response measures.
5.Environmental Protection: Prevents contamination and damage to the environment by keeping floodwaters
away from the bridge and its surroundings.
6.Resilient Communities: Strengthens community resilience in flood-prone areas, ensuring reliable access to
vital transportation routes during adverse weather events.
