As an essential reference to bridge dynamic characteristics, the identification of bridge frequencies has far-reaching consequences for the health monitoring and damage evaluation of bridges. This study proposes a uniform scheme to identify bridge frequencies with two different subspace-based methodologies, i.e., an improved Short-Time Stochastic Subspace Identification (ST-SSI) method and an improved Multivariable Output Error State Space (MOESP) method, by simply adjusting the signal inputs. One of the key features of the proposed scheme is the dimensionless description of the vehicle–bridge interaction system and the employment of the dimensionless response of a two-axle vehicle as the state input, which enhances the robustness of the vehicle properties and speed. Additionally, it establishes the equation of the vehicle biaxial response difference considering the time shift between the front and the rear wheels, theoretically eliminating the road roughness information in the state equation and output signal effectively. The numerical examples discuss the effects of vehicle speeds, road roughness conditions, and ongoing traffic on the bridge identification. According to the dimensionless speed parameter Sv1 of the vehicle, the ST-SSI (Sv1 < 0.1) or MOESP (Sv1 ≥ 0.1) algorithm is applied to extract the frequencies of a simply supported bridge from the dimensionless response of a two-axle vehicle on a single passage. In addition, the proposed methodology is applied to two types of long-span complex bridges. The results show that the proposed approaches exhibit good performance in identifying multi-order frequencies of the bridges, even considering high vehicle speeds, high levels of road surface roughness, and random traffic flows.
