European project ECSTATIC uses fiber-optic cables to detect damage in infrastructure like bridges.
European researchers are developing a €5.1 million project called ECSTATIC, which aims to use existing fiber-optic cables as real-time sensors to detect damage in critical infrastructure like bridges and pipelines.
Led by Aston University, the project tests this technology in a UK city, using laser pulses to monitor subtle shifts and stresses in structures.
This could provide a cost-effective, early warning system for infrastructure maintenance.
