Summary This study focuses on three technical problems in bridge inspection. First, verification experiments of the bridge inspection equipment for the invisible area from outside by the structural reason was performed. Second, the verification experiments of the technique to identify and record exact damage position in the bridge inspection and the technique to collate the current damage situation with past inspection data were performed. Third, the basic design of the examination vehicle to measure load bearing ability for damaged bridge was conducted.
