Situational Awareness for Emergency Services

What is situational awareness?

Why use radar technology to detect people and vehicles in a tunnel?

Radar works when you need it most: in harsh tunnel environments and in smoke and hot gases, when other technologies start to fail.

Radar works in harsh tunnel environments, even when covered in dust and dirt. It delivers uninterrupted performance in smoke and hot gases. Radar is ‘self-illuminating’ whereas cameras rely on light in the environment for detection and can’t see through thick smoke. At high temperatures, such as in a tunnel fire, the performance of thermal cameras is also impaired, while radar continues to work.
