A smart bridge that can automatically increase its height when flooding occurs. The bridge will use a soil moisture sensor to detect the level of water on the ground. When the water level reaches a certain point, the bridge will activate a motor that will raise the bridge deck. This will allow vehicles to continue to use the bridge even during flooding. This project has the potential to make bridges safer and more resilient to flooding. The smart bridge can automatically increase its height when flooding occurs, which will allow vehicles to continue to use the bridge even during flooding. This will reduce the number of bridges flooding events, and it will help to keep people and goods moving during times of emergency.During flooding would be a valuable investment for communities that are vulnerable to flooding. It would help to reduce the disruption caused by flooding and keep people and goods moving during even the most severe weather events.
