      "In Canada, thermal stress buildup due to climatic changes can lead to failure of rail structures. Currently, there are no techniques available to continuously monitor the stress state in a rail over long distances. Distributed fibre optic sensing is a promising solution. Due to the extent of rail track infrastructure in Canada (45,000 km), the method of sensor install must be automated. In addition, to manage the immense volumes of measurement data as well as implement predicative analytical strategies, artificial intelligence (AI) approaches are the essential. The proposed research will addre",

This is partially due to the vast remote region that makes it impractical for the installation of fiber-optic cables in those areas. The consequence of this is that those households are prevented from fully participating in and benefitting from the digital economy, including opportunities for education, job advancement and access to healthcare.
