Φ-OTDR (Phase-Sensitive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry) technology is revolutionizing infrastructure monitoring by leveraging fiber optic cables to detect vibrations and acoustic signals in real-time. This cutting-edge technology enhances safety in critical infrastructures such as pipelines, bridges, tunnels, and urban utilities. With advanced signal processing methods, including Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and machine learning, Φ-OTDR systems can detect and classify vibrations with exceptional accuracy. Real-world applications in border surveillance, oil and gas pipeline monitoring, urban utility systems, and aerial cable monitoring demonstrate the system's versatility and effectiveness in complex environments. As the technology evolves, the integration of artificial intelligence will further improve the system’s adaptability, ensuring safer and more efficient infrastructure management.

Optical fiber sensing technology is reshaping the way we monitor and protect critical infrastructure, such as bridges, tunnels, pipelines, and power grids. Through distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), it provides real-time, cost-effective solutions by detecting changes in temperature, pressure, and mechanical stress. This technology offers several advantages, including cost savings, proactive maintenance, durability, remote monitoring, and scalability. By integrating optical fibers into infrastructure, it helps ensure early detection of potential issues, preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of critical assets. - FCST
