Kudengenyeka kwenyika imwe yenjodzi dzinongoitika dzega dzinokonzeresa kufa kwevanhu vazhinji. Nehurombo, iyi mhando yechiitiko hazviwanzo kufanotaurwa pachine nguva mberi kuitira kuti nzvimbo inokanganisika ikurumidze kubviswa. Kuedza kuwedzera, neimwe nzira, kuwedzera huwandu hwe seismographs ayo anobatsira kufanotaura aya marudzi enjodzi, Yunivhesiti yeStanford yakagadzira masensa ayo akabatanidzwa kune fiber optic network kuitira kuti nzvimbo yakakura ye seismographs munzvimbo dzese dzinowanikwa fiber optics , kuziva nguva dzose zviri kuitika mukati mepasi.
Mirairi yemafuta inoshandisa sisitimu yakafanana kuti ione chero rudzi rwe vibration iyo inogona kukanganisa kwete chete tsime ravari kuchera asi kutendeka kwepuratifomu yese. Nemamiriro ayo, faibha Optics vane hanya chaizvo kuti vibrations, saka chero mutsauko mune yayo mamiriro kana vibration inokonzeresa kusiana uko kunogona kurekodwa kuti uwane kuti chii chave chiri chikonzero chakakanganisa kana kukanganisa chiratidzo uye kuyedza kugadzirisa dambudziko.
MunaGunyana 2016, Stanford University yakaisa fiber optic network yemakiromita angangoita mashanu, ayo akave akagadzirwa nema sensors anokwanisa kuona chero mhando yekufamba, kunyangwe iri diki sei. Kubva ipapo, zvinoenderana neYunivhesiti, yakaratidza kuve inopfuura nzira inoshanda Kana uchidudzira chero rudzi rwekufamba kwepasi, muchokwadi kusvika zvino, yave ichikwanisa kunyora zviitiko mazana masere. Muchokwadi, kuyedza uku kwakakwanisa kuona kudengenyeka kwenyika kwakaenzana ne800 kwakarova Mexico kutanga kwaGunyana, kunyangwe yakaparadzaniswa nemakiromita anodarika zviuru zvitatu, asi hazvo, yakanga yanonoka kupa alarm.
