Distributed Fibre Optic acoustic & vibration sensing has demonstrated its worth to the telecoms industry - it is often used to help locate damaged cables, detect external threats to cable (such as excavation) . Additionally dark fibres in backbone cables are regularly rented and exploited by third parties for a variety of separate purposes - such as traffic sensing, pipeline threat monitoring, earth quake monitoring and much, much more.In all these cases a single application (e.g. traffic sensing) is tied to a single set of sensing hardware and a stand alone analytics server - served applications are direct to the consumer any data for additional or alternative applications is discarded. Today the telecoms owner will not benefit from any telecoms hygiene data picked up by a road traffic fibre renter- and vice versa.This project will prototype a software tool for serving multiple clients in parallel valuable interpreted sensing content from single raw, rich datastreams . To do this, we exploit our key innovation which is a mechanism to handle the massive data rates that such devices present allowing multiple applications to be run in parallel and extended months of data to present value. In doing this we create a revenue earning opportunity for the infrastructure owner.

分布式光纤声学和振动传感已向电信行业证明了其价值 - 它通常用于帮助定位损坏的电缆、检测电缆的外部威胁（例如挖掘）。此外，主干电缆中的暗光纤经常被第三方租用和利用，用于各种不同的目的，例如流量传感、管道威胁监测、地震监测等等。在所有这些情况下，单一应用（例如流量传感） ）绑定到一组传感硬件和一个独立的分析服务器 - 所提供的应用程序直接面向消费者，任何附加或替代应用程序的数据都将被丢弃。今天，电信所有者将不会从道路交通光纤租赁者获取的任何电信卫生数据中受益，反之亦然。该项目将构建一个软件工具原型，用于从单个原始、丰富的数据流中并行地为多个客户提供有价值的解释传感内容。为此，我们利用了我们的关键创新，即一种处理此类设备所提供的海量数据速率的机制，允许多个应用程序并行运行，并延长数月的数据呈现价值。通过这样做，我们为基础设施所有者创造了创收机会。
