In this article, we present a tunnel monitoring approach based on distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS), which delivers hundreds of strain and temperature sensing points inside the structure and gives completely new information about the behaviour of the tunnel lining. Accordingly, the health status of the tunnel is dynamically grasped, which is of great significance to ensure the. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems provide temperature information for accurate thermal monitoring, fire detection, and condition assessment by utilizing standard fiber optic cables. This study presents a state-of-the-art review of the DFOS applications for monitoring and. Today, modern monitoring systems allow reliable condition monitoring of tunnels using optical sensor technology, based on fiber Bragg technology. Tunnels are at the core of our infrastructure., has not been put into practical use, because it is difficult for conventional point type temperature sensors to.
