The future of our cities: Engineers test resilient, intelligent infrastructure. Engineers tested several advanced sensors that can collectively measure strain, temperature, movement and leakage - installed along a 40-foot section of a hazard-resilient pipeline being tested for earthquake fault-rupture performance. The results could have huge consequences for urban planners and municipal leaders. Source 4a.
That will be really good for earthquake stricken places like Japan and California but those sensors will need to be well insulated because if they are damaged during a catastrophe they will be of no use or even make things worst.
