Abstract
Now a day, earthquake engineers follow subjects such as structural health monitoring, warning announcement and prediction rather safe-making in the field of structure. In this regard, these three choices are of great goals of Iran in direction of many studies concentrated on. This research is centralized on real time health monitoring system of Iran bridges. In this regard, to evaluate smart real time health monitoring sensors, first all different types were determined using the library resources, and then all the important indices in evaluating these sensors were derived by interviewing experts in construction management fields. After that, to continue the survey, questionnaires were given to 18 experts to weight the effective indices. Through a decision-making method using new hybrid methodology based on SWARA and WASPAS, existential necessity degree of all indices and sensors were obtained and eventually the following result captured: applying piezoelectric sensors is optimal in smart health monitoring to be used in Iran bridges and optical fiber sensor was recognized as the second optimum option.
Highlights
According to the fact that, 31 types out of more than 40 natural disasters have been recorded in Iran such as destructive earthquakes and floods, studying the critical conditions is necessary (Bitarafan et al 2012)

Summary
According to the fact that, 31 types out of more than 40 natural disasters have been recorded in Iran such as destructive earthquakes and floods, studying the critical conditions is necessary (Bitarafan et al 2012). Earthquake engineers follow subjects such as structural health monitoring, warning announcement and prediction rather safe-making in the field of structure. In this regard, the need for design and construction of smart systems with structural form, and combinational and behavioral adaption capability with environmental conditions in recent decades has been increased (Bae et al 2013; Farshad 1995; Mehrani et al 2009). Despite all studies done by bridge experts and based on standard methods, yet most of the restrictions and defects related to bridge management and evaluation based on which aim is followed, are considerable Bitarafan et al Evaluation of Real-Time Intelligent Sensors for Structural
