This data accompanies the study "Crowdsourcing Bridge Dynamic Monitoring with Smartphone Vehicle Trips" published in (Nature) Communications Engineering. This paper focuses on using large and inexpsensive datasets for obtaining information on the dynamics of bridges. In this study, data is collected by smartphones in moving vehicles as the cross over a bridge, in three distinct applications. Smartphone data was collected in controlled field experiments and uncontrolled Uber rides on a long-span suspension bridge in the USA (The Golden Gate Bridge) and an analytical method was developed to accurately recover modal properties. The method was also successfully applied to partially-controlled crowdsourced data collected on a short-span highway bridge in Italy. The results suggest that larve and inexpensive datasets collected by smartphones could play a role in monitoring the health of existing transportation infrastructure. The data provided includes the source data for the figures in the publication as well as the "controlled data" referenced in the study. Methods All data were recorded by an iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 using the Sensor Play App. Two-hundred and four datasets (102 per phone) were collected during vehicle trips over the Golden Gate Bridge in morning and afternoon rush-hour periods over five days (June 18 - 22, 2017). The positions and orientations of the phones were fixed during data collection. The operator manually hit "record" on each phones at the approach of the bridge and hit "stop" at the end of the bridge -- the data is not syncrhonized. Two sedan-style vehicles were used and five target speeds were defined: 32, 40, 48, 56, and 64 km/hr (note the speed limit on the bridge is 72 km/hr). Datasets 1-50 were collected by a Nissan sedan, and datasets 51-102 were collected by a Ford sedan. Each dataset is provided as a CSV file with twenty-four channels of raw data including timestamps, the default output for the Sensor Play App:
Accelerometer: X, Y, Z Gyroscope: X, Y, Z Attitude: Roll, Pitch, Yaw Location: Longitude, Latitude, Speed, TrueHeading, Altitude Motion Activity: Type & Confidence Barometer: Pressure, Relative Altitude Magnetometer: µT X, Y, Z, calibrated x,y,z,
The referenced study "Crowdsourcing Bridge Dynamic Monitoring with Smartphone Vehicle Trips" only analyzed vertical acceleration (acceleration in the Z-direction) and GPS lat-long channels, which were sampled at 100 Hz and 1 Hz, respectively. Further details of the data and analysis are available in the Methods section of "Crowdsourcing Bridge Dynamic Monitoring with Smartphone Vehicle Trips". Source data is provided for figures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 in the Main Text of "Crowdsourcing Bridge Dynamic Monitoring with Smartphone Vehicle Trips" and figures S1, S2, and S3 of the Supplementary Material

In 2018, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (Parks Conservancy) (https://parksconservancy.org), non-profit support partner to the National Park Service (NPS) Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), initiated a fine scale vegetation mapping project in Marin County. The GGNRA includes lands in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, and NPS expressed interest in pursuing fine scale vegetation mapping for those lands as well. The Parks Conservancy facilitated multiple meetings with potential project stakeholders and was able to build a consortium of funders to map all of San Mateo County (and NPS lands in San Francisco). The consortium included the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD), Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), San Mateo City/County Association of Governments, and various County of San Mateo departments including Parks, Agricultural Weights and Measures, Public Works/Flood Control District, Office of Sustainability, and Planning and Building. Over a 3-year period, the project, collectively referred to as the “San Mateo Fine Scale Veg Map”, has produced numerous environmental GIS products including 1-foot contours, orthophotography, and other land cover maps. A 106-class fine-scale vegetation map was completed in April 2022 that details vegetation communities and agricultural land cover types, including forests, grasslands, riparian vegetation, wetlands, and croplands. The environmental data products from the San Mateo Fine Scale Veg Map are foundational and can be used by organizations and government departments for a wide range of purposes, including planning, conservation, and to track changes over time to San Mateo County’s habitats and natural resources.
Development of the San Mateo fine-scale vegetation map was managed by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and staffed by personnel from Tukman Geospatial (https://tukmangeospatial.com/), Aerial Information Systems (AIS; http://www.aisgis.com/), and Kass Green and Associates. The fine-scale vegetation map effort included field surveys by a team of trained botanists including Neal Kramer, Brett Hall, Lucy Ferneyhough, Brittany Burnett, Patrick Furtado, and Rosie Frederick. Data from these surveys, combined with older surveys from previous efforts, were analyzed by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Vegetation Program (https://www.cnps.org/vegetation), with support from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP; https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/VegCAMP) and ecologists with NatureServe (https://www.natureserve.org/) to develop a San Mateo County-specific vegetation classification. For more information on the field sampling and vegetation classification work San Mateo County Fine Scale Vegetation Map Final Report refer to the final report (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=212663) issued by CNPS and corresponding floristic descriptions (https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=212666 and https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=212667).
Existing lidar data, collected in 2017 by San Mateo County was used to support the project. The lidar point cloud, and many of its derivatives, were used extensively during the process of developing the fine-scale vegetation and habitat map. The lidar data was used in conjunction with optical data. Optical data used throughout the project included 6-inch resolution airborne 4-band imagery collected in the summer of 2018, as well as various dates of National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery. Key data sets used in the lifeform and the enhanced lifeform mapping process include high resolution aerial imagery from 2018, the lidar-derived Canopy Height Model (CHM), and several other lidar-derived raster and vector datasets. In addition, a number of forest structure lidar derivatives are used in the machine learning portion of the enhanced lifeform workflow.
In 2020, an enhanced lifeform map was produced which serves as the foundation for the much more floristically detailed fine-scale vegetation and habitat map. The lifeform map was developed using expert systems rulesets in Trimble Ecognition®, followed by manual editing.
In 2020, Tukman Geospatial staff and partners conducted countywide reconnaissance field work to support fine-scale mapping. Field-collected data were used to train automated machine learning algorithms, which produced a fully automated countywide fine-scale vegetation and habitat map. Throughout 2021, AIS manually edited the fine-scale maps, and Tukman Geospatial and AIS went to the field for validation trips to inform and improve the manual editing process. In early January of 2022, draft maps were distributed and reviewed by San Mateo County’s community of land managers and by the funders of the project. Input from these groups was used to further refine the map. The countywide fine-scale vegetation map and related data products were made public in April 2022. In total, 106 vegetation classes were mapped. During the classification development phase, minimum mapping units (MMUs) were established for the vegetation mapping project. An MMU is the smallest area to be mapped on the ground. For this project, the mapping team chose to map different features at different MMUs. The MMU is 1/4 acre for agricultural, woody riparian, and wetland herbaceous classes; 1/2 acre for woody upland, upland herbaceous, and bare land classes; 1/5 acre for developed feature types; and 400 square feet for water.
Accuracy assessment plot data were collected in 2021 and 2022. Accuracy assessment results were compiled and analyzed in the April of 2022. Overall accuracy of the lifeform map is 98 percent. Overall accuracy of the fine-scale vegetation map is 83.5 percent, with an overall ‘fuzzy’ accuracy of 90.8 percent.

TwitterStructural information deficits about our aging bridges have led to several avoidable catastrophes in recent years. Data-driven methods for bridge vibration monitoring enable frequent, accurate structural assessments; however, the high costs of large-scale deployments of these systems make important condition information a luxury for bridge owners. Smartphone-based monitoring is inexpensive yet has produced structural information, i.e., modal frequencies, in crowdsensing applications. However, current methods cannot extract spatial vibration characteristics, which are needed for damage identification. Here we present the most extensive real-world study on bridge monitoring with crowdsourced smartphone-vehicle trips and simulate damage detection capabilities. Our method analyzes over 500 trips across four bridges with main spans ranging from 30 to 1300 meters in length, representing about one-quarter of US bridges, and extracts absolute value mode shapes, a damage-sensitive feature. We d..., This data set was collected from various sources: the research team, ANAS employees, and Uber drivers.

The dataset consists of acceleration and position measurements taken using smartphones as vehicles drove across various bridges. Current projects using this data revolve around mobile sensing and system identification. The accelerations were measured using the smartphone's onboard triaxial accelerometer. However, the position measurements are a process version of the GPS measurements. The position measurements are 1D distance from a bridge pier, measured in meters, rather than the raw 2D GPS measurements from the phone. Within this repository, there are multiple case studies, and between cases, the method of data collection varied. The methods for data collection can be found in the related work. A Jupyter Notebook accompanies the datasets to reproduce the Golden Gate Bridge absolute mode shape results in the related work....

The Tamalpais Lands Collaborative (One Tam; https://www.onetam.org/), the network of organizations that manage lands on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, initiated the countywide mapping project with their interest in creating a seamless, comprehensive map depicting vegetation communities across the landscape. With support from their non-profit partner the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (https://www.parksconservancy.org/) One Tam was able to build a consortium to fund and implement the countywide fine scale vegetation map.
Development of the Marin fine-scale vegetation map was managed by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and staffed by personnel from Tukman Geospatial (https://tukmangeospatial.com/) Aerial Information Systems (AIS; http://www.aisgis.com/), and Kass Green and Associates. The fine-scale vegetation map effort included field surveys by a team of trained botanists.

In total, 107 vegetation classes were mapped with a minimum mapping size of one fifth to one acre, varying by class.
Accuracy assessment plot data were collected in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Accuracy assessment results were compiled and analyzed in the summer of 2021. Overall accuracy of the lifeformmap is 95%. Overall accuracy of the fine-scale vegetation map is 77%, with an overall 'fuzzy' accuracy of 81%.
The Marin County fine-scale vegetation map was designed for a broad audience for use at many floristic and spatial scales. At its most floristically resolute scale, the fine-scale vegetation map depicts the landscape at the National Vegetation Classification alliance level - which characterizes stands of vegetation generally by the dominant species present. This product is useful to managers interested in specific information about vegetation composition. For those interested in general land use and land cover, the lifeform map may be more appropriate. Tomake the information contained in the map accessible to the most users, the vegetation map is published as a suite of GIS deliverables available in a number of formats. Map products are being made available wherever possible by the project stakeholders, including the regional data portal Pacific Veg Map (http://pacificvegmap.org/data-downloads).

Under contract to the Santa Cruz Mountains Stewardship Network with support from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, and staffed by personnel from Tukman Geospatial, Aerial Information Systems (AIS), and Kass Green and Associates, Tukman Geospatial and Aerial Information Systems created a fine-scale vegetation map of portions of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties. CDFW’s Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) provided in-kind service to allocate and score the AA.
The mapping study area, consists of approximately 1,133,106.8 acres, of Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Work was performed on the project between 2020 and 2023. The Santa Cruz and Santa Clara fine-scale vegetation map was designed for a broad audience for use at many floristic and spatial scales and is useful to managers interested in specific information about vegetation composition and forest health.
CNPS under separate contract and in collaboration with CDFW VegCAMP developed the floristic vegetation classification used for the project. The floristic classification follows protocols compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Vegetation Classification Standards (NVCS).
The vegetation map was produced with countywide vegetation survey data and combined with surveys from CNPS. Trimble® Ecognition® followed by manual image interpretation that was used to map lifeforms. Fine-scale segmentation was conducted using Trimble Ecognition® and relies on summer 2020 4-band NAIP, the 2020 lidar-derived canopy height model, and a suite of spectral indices derived from the NAIP. They utilized a type of algorithmic data modeling known as machine learning to automate the classification of fine-scale segments into one of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties 121 fine-scale map classes. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is set by feature type. For agricultural classes, the MMU is 1/4 acre, for woody upland classes is 1/2 acre, woody riparian is 1/4 acre, upland herbaceous is 1/2 acre, wetland herbaceous is 1/4 acre. Bare land is 1/2 acre, impervious features is 1000 square feet, while developed is 1/5 acre and water is 400 square feet.
Field reconnaissance and accuracy assessment enhanced map quality. There was a total of 121 mapping classes. The overall Fuzzy Accuracy Assessment rating for the final vegetation map, map at the Alliance and Group levels, is 92 percent. More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3100_3199/ds3116.zip.

TwitterThis part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of San Francisco map area, California. The polygon shapefile is included in "Geology_OffshoreSanFrancisco.zip," which is accessible from http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreSanFrancisco/data_catalog_OffshoreSanFrancisco.html.
The Offshore of San Francisco map area includes the Golden Gate inlet which connects the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. San Francisco Bay, the largest estuary on the U.S. west coast, is located at the mouth of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and drains over 40 percent of the state of California. The large surface area of the bay and diurnal tidal range of 1.78 m creates an enormous tidal prism (about 2 billion cu m) and strong tidal currents, commonly exceeding 2.5 m/s (Barnard and others, 2006a, 2006b, 2007). Acceleration of these currents through the constricted inlet has led to scouring of a bedrock channel that has a maximum depth of 113 m. Large fields of sand waves (Barnard and others, 2007) (unit Qmsw) have formed both west and east of this channel as flow expands and tidal currents decelerate. Active tidally influenced map units inside San Francisco Bay also include sand-dominated deposits (unit Qbs) and more coarse-grained sand, gravel, and pebble deposits (unit Qbsc). Sand wave fields resulting from tidal flow are also present in the nearshore along the Pacific Coast, both north and south of the Golden Gate inlet. The sand wave fields appear to be variably mobilized by both ebb and flood tides, but the presence of a large (~150 sq km) ebb-tidal delta at the mouth of the bay west of the inlet indicates net sediment transport has been to the west. The ebb-tidal delta west of the Golden Gate inlet is mapped as two units. The inner part of the delta (unit Qmst) comprises a semi-circular, inward-sloping (i.e., toward the Golden Gate inlet), sandy seafloor at water depths of about 12 to 24 m. This inner delta has a notably smooth surface, indicating sediment transport and deposition under different flow regimes (defined by tidal current strength and depth) than those in which the sand waves formed and are maintained.
Further deceleration of tidal currents beyond the inner delta has led to development of a large, shoaling (about 8 to 12 m water depth), horse-shoe shaped, delta-mouth bar (unit Qmsb). This feature (the "San Francisco Bar") surrounds the inner delta, and its central crest is cut by a dredged shipping channel that separates the nothern and southern parts of the bar, the "North Bar" and "South Bar," respectively. The San Francisco Bar is shaped by both tidal currents and waves, which regularly exceed 6 m in height on the continental shelf during major winter storms (Barnard and others, 2007). This mix of tidal and wave influence results in a variably hummocky, mottled, and rilled seafloor, and this surface texture is used as a primary criteria for mapping the unit and defining its boundaries. Outside the San Francisco Bar to the limits of the map area, the notably flat shelf (less than 0.2 degrees) and the nearshore are wave-dominated and characterized by sandy marine sediment (unit Qms). Local zones of wave-winnowed (?) coarser sediment (unit Qmsc) indicated by high backscatter occur along the coast offshore Ocean Beach. Unit Qmsc is also mapped inside and at the mouth of the Golden Gate inlet where it presumably results from winnowing by strong tidal currents. Coarser sediment also occurs as winnowed lags in rippled scour depressions (unit Qmss), recognized on the basis of high-resolution bathymetry and backscatter. These depressions are typically a few tens of centimeters deep and are bounded by mobile sand sheets (for example, Cacchione and others, 1984). This unit occurs primarily in the nearshore south of the Golden Gate inlet offshore of Ocean Beach (water depth less than 13 m) and north of the inlet offshore Muir Beach (water depth less than 17 m).
Artificial seafloor (unit af) has several distinct map occurrences: (1) sites of active sand mining inside San Francisco Bay; (2) the dredged shipping channel at the central crest of the San Francisco Bar; (3) the sewage outfall pipe, associated rip rap, and surrounding scour channel offshore Ocean Beach; and (4) the location of a former waste disposal site about 2.5 km offshore Point Lobos.
Although the map shows the areas in which several active sedimentary units (Qmsw, Qmst, Qmsb, Qms, Qmsc, Qmss, Qbsm, Qbsc) presently occur, it is important to note that map units and contacts are dynamic and ephemeral, likely to change during large storms, and on seasonal to decadal scales based on changing external forces such as weather, climate, sea level, and sediment supply. Dallas and Barnard (2011) have noted, for example, that the ebb-tidal delta has dramatically shrunk since 1873 when the first bathymetric s...
