Abstract
Based on the Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI) theory, a moving instrumented vehicle is designed as a dynamic information scanner to detect the modal properties of a bridge. This idea is done using the vehicle scanning technique or indirect measurements proposed by Yang et al. in 2004 [1]. This study presents and implements the fundamental theory and conceptual ideas of the test vehicle used to detect the frequency messages of a tied-arch railway bridge. As a train connecting a test vehicle travels over the arch bridge at a constant speed, interesting study concerning the modal frequency detection of the VBI system will be conducted.
