Technology in bridge infrastructure

So I found this interesting story about detecting problems with road and bridge infrastructure, by a sensore and GPS system in cars.

“This sensing technology will create a way to detect problems, both on the surface and subsurface, so that problems can be fixed more efficiently.”

Basically computers in the cars with the sensor and GPS system will pinpoint the collected data to a location. The data will be processed, reported, and analyzed to that repairs can be made where they are needed

"Computers installed in the vehicles will control the sensors and a GPS system will pinpoint the collected data to very precise locations. Constant streams of data will be processed and reported back to base stations using a cellular phone system, which will then be analyzed so that timely repairs can be made in vulnerable areas"
