      A separate bridge, made of flax

      Translated by Google •

        This sustainable pedestrian bridge was created in Almere under the leadership of TU Eindhoven, which provides insight into green construction methods using smart technology. The bridge is sturdy and light. It can easily carry 275 people at a time. The main material of the bridge is not a high-tech product, but flax, a welcome alternative to materials with high CO2 emissions.
        To enable practical research, the bridge contains almost a hundred sensors that monitor how the bridge responds to daily use. These sensors measure, for example, the tension on the fibers or slight vibrations in the structure caused by a gust of wind. Conclusions are drawn from this data with the help of artificial intelligence.
