In the U.S., more than 37,000 people die in road crashes each year, and railway incidents can disrupt entire cities. Safety is a growing concern for transportation systems—and smarter monitoring is becoming essential. That’s where fiber optic sensing comes in. More cities are investing in this technology to improve real-time monitoring. It’s not just about speed and data—it’s about saving lives. From tracking train movement to detecting cracks in highways, fiber sensing is stepping in as a quiet but powerful safety tool. How It Works in Railways Trains generate vibrations and pressure along tracks. Fiber optic cables laid alongside these tracks can pick up those signals. The system can detect abnormal movement, like a wheel flat or a broken rail. This early warning allows for quick action, reducing the risk of derailments.
