189 Siemens Building Technologies is introducing the next generation of its FibroLaser line heat detection system, which is based on a fibre-optic cable and suited for road and train tunnels as well as for industrial applications. The third generation of this fire safety solution offers even faster and more precise detection over an area of up to 2x10km in length. Each zone of up to 1,000 alarms can be configured for different criteria and used to control functions such as alarm elements, ventilation, or lighting. The FibroLaser III controller operates in an ambient temperature range from -10° to 60°C and requires no fans for cooling. The fire safety solution is complemented by new FibroManager control software.

Marketing manager Libor Sušil describes the system as weigh-in-free-flow as it measures the axle across the full lane width regardless of the position of the wheels and the sensor can also detect underinflated tyres even on twin wheel configurations. He likens the measuring method to that of a strain gauge but adds that th

    Unbroken service Technolution's Winifred Roggekamp and Dave Marples describe efforts to upgrade the Westerscheldetunnel's tolling system to give free-flow capability. Until 2003 the Flanders region of Zeeland, in the south-west of the Netherlands, was connected to the mainland only by ferry. The new Westerscheldetunnel, a 6.6km toll tunnel, improves communications with the region considerably, taking some 100km off the alternative road journey. In 2006 it was recognised that the toll plaza for the tunnel ne
