Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article discusses methods for applying Distributed Acoustic Sensors (DAS) based on optical fiber technologies in infrastructure monitoring systems. Acoustic sensors detect vibrations, noise, and other mechanical changes along the infrastructure, enabling real-time monitoring. The use of this technology helps in the early detection of infrastructure defects, allowing for preventive measures to be taken and reducing maintenance costs. The article highlights the capability of extracting and analyzing important information from noisy signals using signal processing techniques such as Fourier transformation. This approach is presented as a modern solution to enhance infrastructure safety and ensure its long-term and reliable operation.
