The continuous development and innovative design of modern transportation systems has led to a growing number of long-span, slender structures, e.g., bridges and railway overhead contact lines. These flexible structures are vulnerable to various types of wind-induced vibrations, which may seriously impact the structural fatigue life and/or operational safety.

In recent years, the measurement of the wind field, the monitoring of structural response, the assessment of structural reliability, and the mitigation of wind-induced vibration have attracted much attention. Field measurements of long-span structures subjected to wind loads have been largely performed using structural health monitoring systems. Physical and data-driven models have been advanced for the assessment and prediction of the structural dynamic performance. Innovative approaches (e.g., active monitoring which combines structural health monitoring and finite element analysis) have been developed to assess structural responses in a real-time manner. Optimized designs and various control strategies are needed to ensure the reliability and safe operation of transportation systems.
