Video detection specialist 5574 Traficon has been awarded a contract to provide video image processors for traffic monitoring inside the Södra Länken and Norra Länken tunnels in Stockholm, Sweden. The company will provide some 763 of its VIP-T modules designed for automatic incident detection and traffic data analysis.

22 VIP-T video image processing modules have already been installed in the Södra Länken tunnel. In cooperation with traffic specialists 129 Swarco Sweden and 5572 ISG Systems AB Sweden, Traficon will install another 370 modules during 2012. Installation of 393 VIP-T modules for the Norra Länken tunnel is expected to start after 2012 in cooperation with ISG Systems Sweden for delivery to Tunnelentreprenad, a consortium owned by Swarco Nordic and Rolf Tannergård.

Both Södra Länken and Norra Länken are new traffic routes that have been designed to help alleviate increasing traffic volumes in and around Stockholm. The 6km long Södra Länken, of which 4.7km is in tunnels, is the southern part of the Stockholm ring road and is the largest ever road tunnel construction in Sweden. Construction of the 5km long northern Norra Länken, largely in tunnels, started in 2006 and is expected to be completed by 2015.
