Emergency Services

Improving safety in tunnels

We work with emergency services to improve tunnel safety in the event of a serious incident.

Navtech’s Intelligent Transport System (ITS) monitors traffic in the tunnel. Most serious incidents start with a stopped vehicle. Our system alerts in seconds when a stopped vehicle is detected. It also detects and tracks vulnerable road users in the tunnel.

When there is an incident, the system provides emergency services with vital, real-time information on the location and number of people and vehicles in the tunnel via a web UI. A radar-based system, it continues to detect through smoke and hot gases, unlike camera and thermal sensors which rely on light and heat signatures in the environment for detection. 360° long-range coverage means the entire tunnel is monitored 24/7.
