High-temporal-frequency monitoring of transport infrastructure is crucial to facilitate maintenance and prevent major service disruption or structural failures. Ground-based non-destructive testing (NDT) methods have been successfully applied for decades, reaching very high standards for data quality and accuracy. However, routine campaigns and long inspection times are required for data collection and their implementation into reliable infrastructure management systems (IMSs). On the other hand, satellite remote sensing techniques, such as the Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) method, have proven effective in monitoring ground displacements of transport infrastructure (roads, railways and airfields) with a much higher temporal frequency of investigation and the capability to cover wider areas. Nevertheless, the integration of information from (i) satellite remote sensing and (ii) ground-based NDT methods is a subject that is still to be fully explored in civil engineering. This paper aims to review significant stand-alone and combined applications in these two areas of endeavour for transport infrastructure monitoring. The recent advances, main challenges and future perspectives arising from their mutual integration are also discussed.

“…In all cases the increase in traffic loads on these structures accompanied by their advanced age has resulted in structural decay (Bhandari and Kumar, 2006). Therefore, a constant diagnosis of their changing structural integrity is required to provide information to help with their preservation and restoration, using non‐destructive methods such as ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), which will not change their historical character (Melbourne et al ., 2006; Orbán et al ., 2008).…”

Several arched masonry bridges are listed historical monuments in Spain, which are valued tourist attractions or local landmarks. They are maintained by several organizations dedicated to the cultural heritage such as the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). Many of these important structures are the oldest constructions still in use within the transportation infrastructure and as a result of the increase in traffic loads and their age they have undergone some structural decay. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been shown to be valuable in evaluating the state of conservation of the San Anto¤ n medieval bridge in order to help preserve its historical character.This bridge was surveyed by using the 200, 250 and 500 MHz antennas. Interpretation and analysis of GPR reflection data were supported by finite-difference time domain numerical modelling, based on the accurate external geometry obtained with threedimensional laser scanning methods. Results show that GPR mapping provides valuable information for detecting aninternal structuralelement used forreinforcement aswellas a possibleinterior hidden arch that remainsfrom ancient times.This information is noteworthy for archaeologists and civil engineers as it can be used to make decisions about stability and for future strengthening measures.
