Fibre Sensor Network for Early Road Collapse Detection
Implementing Partner: Build Change
Project Name:Fibre Sensor Network for Early Road Collapse Detection in Sri Lanka
This research presents a cutting-edge monitoring technique using optical fibre sensors to detect road infrastructure failures early. Embedded beneath roads, these sensors provide real-time data on structural conditions, identifying potential collapses before they occur.
The high-resolution information enhances early warning systems, enabling authorities to prioritize and reduce risks effectively.
This cost-efficient, scalable approach is particularly valuable for improving road safety in Sri Lanka and Australia, ensuring resilient infrastructure and safer transportation networks.
