6778 FLIR Intelligent Transportation Systems is to equip the Prado Carénage and the soon to be built Prado Sud tunnels in Marseille, France, with automatic incident detection (AID) technology.

The Prado Carénage tunnel connects the southern districts of the city and the eastern motorway to the city centre and to north via the Vieux Port tunnel and the coastal motorway.

The 1,500 metre double-deck Prado Sud tunnel will extend the existing Prado Carénage tunnel towards the southern part of the city. The tunnel is scheduled to open in 2014.

Flir will provide a complete detection and monitoring solution, including automatic incident detection, surveillance cameras, mobile cameras, recording capabilities and video images.

Incident data from around 57 cameras in the Prado Sud tunnel and 95 cameras in the Prado Carénage tunnel is collected and managed by Flir’s Flux video detection management system, offering a user-friendly interface providing a monitoring and reporting application that enables real-time monitoring of events and alarms.
