In recent years, indirect bridge health monitoring (iBHM) using vehicle-mounted sensors has gained increasing attention due to its low-carbon footprint and cost-efficiency. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has further promoted its potential for industrial deployment and scalability. However, the limited availability and high noise levels of drive-by measurements often hinder its practical implementation. To address these, this study proposes a hybrid framework that integrates physics-informed data augmentation with multi-view data fusion and unsupervised learning strategies. PyTiGAN, a physics-guided time-series GAN, is developed to synthesize high-fidelity drive-by data using a physics vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) kernel. These generated data are then combined with real measurements for structural state identification. A multi-view dimensionality reduction and fusion scheme is designed to extract discriminative features from various sensors and embed them into a compact fused space. The framework was validated using field-test data from a testbed bridge structure and a vehicle at the testing site in Ispra, Italy, as part of the MITICA (MonItoring Transport Infrastructures with Connected and Automated Vehicles) project. The results confirm that the framework can accurately detect both minor and moderate bridge damage using only limited drive-by data. Sensitivity analyses further examine how synthetic data volume, physics-based kernels, embedding dimensions, and sensor placement influence damage detection performance. The proposed method demonstrates a promising solution for iBHM under data scarcity.
