The invention discloses a bridge health and safety online monitoring cloud platform based on big data comparative analysis. The bridge health and safety online monitoring cloud platform comprises a region division module, a detection point layout module, a bridge opening radius detection module, a bridge opening radius analysis module, a vault arc length acquisition module, a vault arc length analysis module, an analysis server, a cloud monitoring platform and a storage database. The method comprises the following steps: dividing a bridge opening area of a to-be-monitored arch bridge into a plurality of sub-areas, carrying out detection point arrangement on each sub-area in the bridge opening area, detecting the bridge opening radius at the detection point position of each sub-area, comparing to obtain the bridge opening radius difference value of each sub-area, and simultaneously obtaining the arch crown arc length of each sub-area in the bridge opening area, comprehensively calculating the bridge opening health safety influence coefficient of the to-be-monitored arch bridge, analyzing whether the bridge opening health safety of the to-be-monitored arch bridge is qualified or not, and if not, sending an early warning instruction to inform related personnel to carry out blocking and processing, so that the travel potential safety hazards of people are reduced, and the life and property safety of people is guaranteed.
