description With the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems, obtaining vehicle status information across large-scale road networks is essential for the coordinated management and control of traffic conditions. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) demonstrates considerable potential in vehicle status perception due to its characteristics such as high spatial resolution and robustness in complex sensing environments. This study first reviews the limitations of conventional vehicle detection technologies and introduces the operating principles and technical features of DAS. Secondly, it investigates the correlations between DAS sensing characteristics, deployment process, and driving behavior characteristics. The results indicate that both the intensity of driving behavior and the degree of deployment–process coupling are positively associated with DAS signal sensing characteristics. This study further examines the principles, advantages, limitations, and application scenarios of various DAS signal processing algorithms. Traditional methods are becoming less effective in handling massive data generated by numerous distributed nodes. Although deep learning achieves high classification accuracy and low latency, its generalization capability remains limited. Finally, this study discusses DAS-based traffic status perception frameworks and outlines key research frontiers in vehicle status monitoring using DAS technology.
