Abstract:
A system and method of delivering fiber optic communication service is provided. The method includes monitoring a strain signal generated by a strain-sensing optical fiber embedded in a roadway. The method includes comparing the strain signal to a predetermined allowable strain threshold of an optical communication cable associated with the strain-sensing optical fiber. The method includes relieving strain at a position along a length of the optical communications cable when the strain signal is determined to exceed the predetermined allowable strain threshold.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein decreasing the strain experienced by the strain-sensing optical fiber includes cutting portions of the roadway on both sides of the channel at the location of the roadway defect, and further comprising patching the cut portions of the roadway, wherein a strain experienced by the communications optical fiber relates to the strain experienced by the strain-sensing optical fiber, wherein decreasing the strain experienced by the strain-sensing optical fiber results in a decrease in the strain experienced by the communications optical fiber.
