Dutch surveillance solutions provider 4207 TKH Security Solutions has introduced its latest surveillance camera for the mobility market, the TunnelCam Ultimo, a compact and lightweight camera specially designed for tunnel applications and able to withstand harsh tunnel environments.


The TunnelCam Ultimo is able to capture clear images and locate heat sources, making it suitable for tunnel safety and fire protection. Third party automatic incident detection can be installed in the camera to alert tunnel control centre operators so that incidents can also be reported to the motorway control centre and traffic rerouted or stopped.

    Sony’s vision systems help limit risk in road tunnels
    Sony’s Stephane Clauss looks at the imaging requirements in tunnels. In the event of a fire inside a tunnel, the dispersion of gases and heat is prevented, creating extreme temperatures that have led to many deaths. Following tragic incidents including Mont Blanc, European legislation requires longer tunnels to be fitted with incident and smoke detection systems.

    Vision technology lifts blinkers from tunnel vision
    Sony’s Jerome Avenel looks at how advances in imaging technology are helping improve safety. On the 24th March 1999, a Belgian truck transporting flour and margarine through the 11.6km Mont Blanc tunnel caught alight when a cigarette stub entered the engine induction snorkel, lighting the paper air filter. The fire left over 30 dead and many more injured. At the time, the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster was the world’s worst tunnel fire.

    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
