Abstract As the demand for mobility grows, the stresses placed on city road networks intensifies. Optimal use of road infrastructure is vital to managing the impact of rapidly increasing traffic volumes and minimising congestion and journey times. Imagine monitoring traffic effectively by using existing fibre optic cables buried around the system. Distributed Acoustic Sensing converts a standard single mode telecoms fibre optic cable into an array of distributed sensors to deliver spatially and temporally rich traffic management information. Using new or existing fibre optic infrastructure as an intelligent traffic sensor allows faster, less disruptive and more economical deployments of traffic management solutions, enabling city authorities to intelligently manage traffic flow and reduce emissions. © International Conference on Smart Infrastructure and Construction 2019, ICSIC 2019: Driving Data-Informed Decision-Making.
