PRESS RELEASE Fiber Optic Sensing Association Releases Cable Installation Considerations for Highways WASHINGTON DC, November 15, 2019 - The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA), the world’s premier trade association for distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), released a brief primer entitled FOSA Installation Considerations for Highways. "Streamlining and standardizing the distributed fiber optic sensing installation process enhances the compelling opportunities for smart cities and intelligent transportation. FOSA Installation Considerations for Highways gives guidance on best practices," said JJ Williams, FOSA Chairman. "Distributed fiber optic sensing techniques offer powerful tools for the monitoring of long, linear assets, such as highways," added Gareth Lees, FOSA Technology Committee Chairman. This document is the product of FOSA’s Technology Committee. The document provides guidance on best practice for the selection and installation of cables for fiber optic sensing along highways, where they can fulfill objectives in various areas:
"Fiber optic cable will provide the technological backbone for a host of intelligent transportation and smart cities applications. This twelve-page primer provides guidance to end users, installation contractors and others," said Mark Uncapher, FOSA Executive Director. The full text of FOSA’s Installation Considerations for Highways is available here. |
