Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development demand innovative solutions for underground space utilization, necessitating advanced monitoring technologies to ensure safety, sustainability, and efficiency. This Special Issue on “Underground Space Monitoring” focuses on innovative strategies enhancing the longevity and performance of underground infrastructure. We invite high-quality original research, reviews, and case studies focused on, but not limited to, the following:
- Service status monitoring of construction equipment;
- Innovative sensing and monitoring technologies;
- AI-driven data analytics for monitoring and warning;
- Novel monitoring instruments for extreme environments;
- Case studies of underground engineering monitoring.
