Dynamic characteristics of large civil infrastructures have been monitored for safe operation and efficient maintenance of the structures. To measure vibration data, the conventional system uses cables causing very expensive costs and inconvenience for installation. Therefore, various wireless sensor nodes have been developed to replace the conventional wired system. However, there remain lots of issues to be resolved such as power supply, data loss, data security, etc. In this study, smart distributed sensor node (SDSN) was developed to measure vibration data. The SDSN is basically timely synchronized one-channel data acquisition system. It consists of its local time clock with high accuracy and SD memory card or local data storage. It is designed for temporal measurement, not long-term monitoring, since it can operate several hours using embedded batteries. Laboratoy tests were carried to verify the performance of the developed SDSN compared with conventional wired sensors. Several application examples for large civil infrastructure were also suggested.
