分布式声学传感(DAS)技术利用光纤电缆检测振动和声学事件,是实时交通监控的有前景方案。本文提出一种基于边缘计算的新方法,通过霍夫变换在时空DAS数据中检测直线段,对应挪威Astfjord桥上车辆经过的信号。这些线段采用基于密度的空间聚类算法(DBSCAN)进行聚类,整合同一车辆的多次检测,降低噪声并提升准确性。该流程仅需数十秒延迟即可完成车辆计数与速度估计,支持边缘端实时交通监控。通过与同步视频数据对比验证,系统在车辆检测中表现优异,可依据信号强度和频率内容区分小车与卡车。结果表明,该系统能高效处理大规模数据,分析车速与交通模式,识别流量的时间趋势与变化。边缘设备实时部署后,可通过云端平台即时分析与可视化。此外,该方法还成功检测到桥梁的结构响应,展现出在结构健康监测中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology leverages fiber optic cables to detect vibrations and acoustic events, which is a promising solution for real-time traffic monitoring. In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology for detecting and tracking vehicles using DAS data, focusing on real-time processing through edge computing. Our approach applies the Hough transform to detect straight-line segments in the spatiotemporal DAS data, corresponding to vehicles crossing the Astfjord bridge in Norway. These segments are further clustered using the Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to consolidate multiple detections of the same vehicle, reducing noise and improving accuracy. The proposed workflow effectively counts vehicles and estimates their speed with only tens of seconds latency, enabling real-time traffic monitoring on the edge. To validate the system, we compare DAS data with simultaneous video footage, achieving high accuracy in vehicle detection, including the distinction between cars and trucks based on signal strength and frequency content. Results show that the system is capable of processing large volumes of data efficiently. We also analyze vehicle speeds and traffic patterns, identifying temporal trends and variations in traffic flow. Real-time deployment on edge devices allows immediate analysis and visualization via cloud-based platforms. In addition to traffic monitoring, the method successfully detected structural responses in the bridge, highlighting its potential use in structural health monitoring.
