Abstract: Optical fibers have a sensing function that captures environmental changes around the fiber cable. According to the recent technology evolution of optical transmission and AI, the application of the fiber sensing has expanded and visualization accuracy has improved. We have proposed to monitor the traffic flow on the road using the existing optical fiber infrastructure along the road. In this paper, we propose a traffic flow analysis AI algorithm with high environmental resistance and show the evaluation results of traffic monitoring.
