conjunction with AI, to monitor infrastructure and natural hazards<\/h2>\n<p>Aston University is running a project to explore whether fibre optic monitors can be used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/smartphone-app-structural-health-monitoring\/138826\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">monitor infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0and detect natural hazards.<\/p>\n<p>The project is funded by Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action for \u00a35.5m.<\/p>\n<h3>The project will utilise existing fibre optic networks<\/h3>\n<p>The project intends to convert existing fibre optic cables into sensors that are able to assess the quality of a building&#8217;s infrastructure, as well as detect natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.<\/p>\n<p>The project, titled ECSTATIC (Engineering Combined Sensing and Telecommunications Architectures for Tectonic and Infrastructure Characterisation), uses new digital signal processing integrated with artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>This will overcome data storage limitations and processing limits within the existing data networks.<\/p>\n<p>This will also minimise the algorithm&#8217;s complexity and give accurate and real-time information on the state of infrastructure and the state of events that can be monitored through the ground or infrastructure that the cables are installed in.<\/p>\n<h3>The project will be delivered by a consortium of 14 partners<\/h3>\n<p>The new laser interrogation and signal processing technologies will be tested in existing fibre optic networks, including ones underwater, in cities, and along railway infrastructure to test their monitoring capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The research is being undertaken by 14 partners from seven different countries, from both academic and non-academic sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The team will be led by professor David Webb, based at the University of Aston in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aston.ac.uk\/research\/eps\/aipt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Professor Webb said: &#8220;There are more than five billion kilometres of installed data communications optical fibre cable, which provides an opportunity to create a globe-spanning network of fibre sensors, without laying any new fibres.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These traverse the seas and oceans &#8211; where conventional sensors are practically non-existent &#8211; and major infrastructures, offering the potential for smart structural health monitoring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston University researchers are exploring the possibility
