APPLICATIONS / TRANSPORTATION
Keep a closer watch on the infrastructure that connects us.
Monitor acoustic activity and temperature along railways, bridges, tunnels and road corridors. Add distributed sensing to the information that supports inspection and maintenance decisions.
PHOTONIC LINES / APPLICATIONS01 / TRANSPORTATION
Railway Track & Rail Infrastructure Monitoring
Make the rail corridor a source of operational insight.
Fiber along the railway can capture vibrations associated with rail operations and nearby activity. Depending on fiber suitability and the analysis approach, these measurements can support condition assessment and research into track and train behaviour.
- Rail corridor acoustic monitoring
- Track condition assessment support
- Trespass and disturbance investigation
- Use of suitable existing fiber
02 / TRANSPORTATION
Bridge Structural Health Monitoring
Understand changes in structural response.
Acoustic measurements from appropriately coupled fiber can support the study of dynamic bridge behaviour. Measurements are interpreted with engineering context and can complement established structural inspection and monitoring methods.
- Distributed vibration measurement
- Traffic-related structural response
- Trend analysis and research data
- Inspection planning support
03 / TRANSPORTATION
Tunnel Safety & Monitoring Systems
Observe thermal conditions and acoustic activity along tunnels.
DTS provides temperature profiles along the sensing route, while DAS can capture vibration and disturbances. The technology, cable installation and response workflow are designed around the tunnel’s operating and monitoring requirements.
- Distributed temperature profiles
- Hot-spot investigation
- Acoustic disturbance monitoring
- Tunnel operations integration
04 / TRANSPORTATION
Highway & Road Infrastructure Monitoring
Monitor the corridor beyond the road surface.
Fiber installed along road infrastructure can capture acoustic activity and support investigations of ground or structural disturbances. Monitoring objectives and environmental noise guide the sensing design and interpretation.
- Road corridor disturbance monitoring
- Slope and ground activity assessment
- Retaining structure research
- Maintenance decision support
