An increasing amount of civil engineering applications are utilising data acquired from infrastructure instrumented with sensing devices. This data has an important role in monitoring the response of these structures to excitation, and evaluating structural health. In this paper we seek to monitor pedestrian-events (such as a person walking) on a footbridge using strain and acceleration data. The rate of this data acquisition and the number of sensing devices make the storage and analysis of this data a computational challenge. We introduce a streaming method to compress the sensor data, whilst preserving key patterns and features (unique to different sensor types) corresponding to pedestrian-events. Numerical demonstrations of the methodology on data obtained from strain sensors and accelerometers on the pedestrian footbridge are provided to show the trade-off between compression and accuracy during and in-between periods of pedestrian-events.
