About

Dr. Solomon Atcitty is a leading figure in the field of transportation infrastructure health monitoring, with a focused expertise in developing practical, field-deployable diagnostic tools. His most-cited work, "Use of Remote Structural Tap Testing Devices Deployed via Ground Vehicle for Health Monitoring of Transportation Infrastructure" (2022, 8 citations), addresses a critical national challenge: the preservation of aging roadways and bridges. Dr. Atcitty’s major contribution lies in pioneering a novel, automated approach to the traditional "tap test"—a method for detecting subsurface delaminations and voids in concrete. By integrating this acoustic sensing technology with a ground vehicle platform, he has transformed a manual, labor-intensive inspection into a rapid, remote, and scalable process. This innovation directly supports transportation agencies in prioritizing maintenance and extending infrastructure lifespan. While his citation count reflects the emerging nature of this applied research, the practical impact of his work is substantial, offering a cost-effective solution for proactive asset management. Dr. Atcitty’s research stands at the intersection of structural engineering, robotics, and non-destructive evaluation, making him a key contributor to the future of smart and resilient transportation networks.
