Tunnels provide unique safety challenges, as a wide range of events can lead to accidents and fires, with potentially dramatic human and economic costs. Rapid fire development and heating rates, risk of structural collapse and longer exit routes all worsen the escape environment for tunnel users and can cause lengthy tunnel closures and transport network disruptions.
At Siemens, we know that in the complex tunnel environment, seamless interaction between the various subsystems and technologies is essential to ensure the highest safety levels, improve tunnel availability and lower operational costs. Our integrated safety solutions – combined with extensive services – improve incident detection, mitigation and recovery inside the tunnel and protect critical operational systems – all within regulatory requirements.
