Marine bridges located along the coast, especially long-span bridges such as cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges, are greatly affected by strong winds and can threaten the safety of citizens who use them. In this study, a real-time disaster information collection and provision platform was developed by utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) and smart control technologies to relieve the anxiety of local residents and bridge users in case of strong winds and large-scale disasters. A service platform that can send warnings to local residents and bridge operators in the event of strong winds or abnormal vibrations was developed by collecting vibration information in real time using IoT-based sensors installed on bridges. By additionally expressing the collected vibration information using the VMS (Variable Message System) installed in the bridge, the bridge traffic and pedestrian safety management function that can support the driver's safe operation was implemented.
