    Across Europe there is a very mixed picture of compliance to latest safety standards for road tunnels. Best practice has emerged, however, in the wake of European legislation. Jon Masters reports High profile fatal fires following accidents in the Mont Blanc, Tauern and Gotthard tunnels prompted the 2004 European Union Directive 2004/54 on road tunnel safety. This meant all EU member states would have to meet new standards of safety in road tunnels by 30 April 2014. The Directive applied to all tunnels over

    Citilog will be showcasing the real-world power of its automatic incident detection (AID) technology by highlighting how it operated in a real-world situation when the system helped prevent a potential tragedy in France’s Vuache Tunnel.

    At 10:33 on 11 June 2024, Citilog's AI-powered system identified a stopped vehicle and immediately triggered tunnel closure procedures. By 10:38, when a fire broke out on the truck, the tunnel was already sealed, preventing other vehicles from entering what could have been a catastrophic situation.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers. It was back in April 2004 that the European Parliament adopted the EU Directive which lays down the Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans-European Road Network (2004/54/EC). This was the first unitary legislation setting minimum safety standards for European road tunnels and was designed to harmonise the management of tunnel safety at a national level. Operators of existing tunnels have until 30 April 201
