Using the pre-existing trackside infrastructure and cables of Deutsche Bahn, AP Sensing’s Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology is used to collect live data along the track. The fiber optic network and DFOS technology is perfectly suited to feed the neural system of a digital, acoustic twin of the rail network. Together with Deutsche Bahn and TU Darmstadt, AP Sensing is an innovation driver when it comes to a smart solution and high performing technology. Continuous sensing capabilities at every point along a rail track not only offer the capacity for train tracking, but also increase safety by monitoring train integrity and detecting obstacles along the track or quickly locating short circuits….a fiber optic based acoustic digital twin of the rail network is an important component for increasing capacity and efficiency in the provision of sustainable and energy-saving mobility.

FOSA Presents 2023 Champion of Innovation Award to Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH)

The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA) announced the winners of its annual Champion of Innovation Award. FOSA selected Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and J.D. Vance (R-OH) based on their extraordinary leadership in the 118th Congress toward enhancing the safety and security of the U.S. rail system. Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), FOSA’s technology focus, is ideally suited to applications in rail where fiber optic cables running parallel to tracks improve safety through detection of pedestrians, monitoring of freight and passenger traffic, and immediate detection and locational pinpointing of both track and rolling stock defects.
