4207 TKH Security Solutions’ TunnelCam Ultimo is designed for tunnel applications and is able to withstand corrosive exhaust gases and vibrations, as well as high-pressure water jets used during periodical tunnel cleaning.

Compact and lightweight, the Ultimo can be installed by one person, offers cross-sensor intelligence possibilities and users can interchange optical and thermal views over a single IP address. Its ability to capture clear images and locate heat sources provides tunnel safety and fire protection, and third party automatic incident detection can be installed in the camera to immediately alert control centre staff to an incident.

The Ultimo can be ordered with several cabling options, pre-configured settings and power supply options.

    Moxa provides clear vision for Caldecott Tunnel’s Fourth Bore
    Caldecott Tunnel’s new Fourth Bore is utilising a bespoke high-capacity monitoring and communications network from Moxa. The Caldecott Tunnel connects Contra Costa and Alameda counties in Northern California and traditionally it has suffered severe congestion - especially during peak hours. Opened in 1937 as a twin-bore arrangement, by 1964 the increase in traffic volumes led to a third bore being added. Shortly after the third bore was opened a tidal flow was introduced with the centre bore alternating in

    Monitoring, detection and control systems inside tunnels can do much to improve traveller safety
    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
