The feasibility of traffic monitoring along a major urban road using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is demonstrated. We present measurement results of conventional intensity-based DAS along a dark fiber in a tubed fiber optic cable buried roadside. With only minimal postprocessing different classes of traffic participants can be distinguished (cars, bikes, pedestrians). Different methods for pre-processing raw data are compared, especially with regard to providing suitable inputs for pattern recognition algorithms. Furthermore, the various challenges for automatized vehicle detection and classification related to varying sensitivity and inhomogeneous signal propagation are discussed. Sensitivity fluctuations and variations are in part inherent to the measurement technology and originate in part in ground conditions. The measurement quality and usefulness for traffic monitoring of intensity-based DAS is compared to that of state-of-the-art phase-resolved DAS, allowing quantitative evaluation of vibration signals.

After describing the basics of distributed fiber optic sensing in general and distributed fiber optic acoustic sensing (DAS) in particular, several currently and previously investigated fields of application of DASin infrastructure monitoring and seismic monitoring are presented. A focus is placed on seismic measurements and DAS measurements determining the dynamic responses of concrete structures to certain stimuli.
Distributed vibration sensing in optical fibers opened entirely new opportunities and penetrated various sectors from security to seismic monitoring. Here, we demonstrate a most simple and robust approach for dynamic strain measurement using wavelength-scanning coherent optical time domain reflectometry (C-OTDR). Our method is based on laser current modulation and Rayleigh backscatter shift correlation. As opposed to common single-wavelength phase demodulation techniques, also the algebraic sign of the strain change is retrieved. This is crucial for the intended applications in structural health monitoring and modal analysis. A linear strain response down to 47.5 pε and strain noise of 100 pε/√Hz is demonstrated for repetition rates in the kHz range. A field application of a vibrating bridge is presented. Our approach provides a cost-effective high-resolution method for structural vibration analysis and geophysical applications.
Wavelength-scanning distributed acoustic sensing for structural monitoring and seismic applications
(2019)
We introduce wavelength-scanning coherent optical time domain reflectometry (WS-COTDR) for dynamic vibration sensing along optical fibers. The method is based on spectral shift computation from Rayleigh backscatter spectra. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used for fast and high-resolution strain computation from raw measurement data. The applicability of the method is demonstrated for vibration monitoring of a reinforced concrete bridge. We demonstrate another application example for quasi-static and dynamic measurement of ground deformation and surface wave propagation along a dark fiber in a telecommunication cable.
