As an emerging intelligent technology, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has developed rapidly across various industries in recent years, providing critical assurance for the safety and efficient automated operation of diverse structures. With the rapid expansion of China's rail transit systems, the demand for SHM technology has grown increasingly urgent.

Since 2016, the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring for Railway System has been successfully held three times in Qingdao. The scale of the conference has continued to expand, fostering a vibrant atmosphere for academic exchange. Each session has attracted hundreds of experts, professors, and scholars from around the world, facilitating in-depth discussions on the current developments and future applications of SHM technology in rail transit. The workshop has promoted interdisciplinary collaboration and elevated China's standing and influence in the international academic community. It has become one of very premier conferences in China for fault prediction, diagnostics, and structural monitoring in railway system.
