Benelux Tunnel

Yunex Traffic has received an order from Rijkswaterstaat to demonstrate on a trial basis that automatic detection of stationary traffic and wrong-way drivers in tunnels are possible alternatives to the usual induction loops.

To this end, they will deploy their flexible automatic incident detection platform, TraffiGuard, and link image recognition cameras and radar systems to it. Yunex Traffic are looking to demonstrate that this will provide road traffic control with better information about incidents in the tunnel, which will improve safety and traffic flow for road users.

The test set-up:

• Installation in the Benelux Tunnel
• Monitoring of one entire tunnel tube and parts of the outlying area
• Combination of detections from around 20 radars and cameras into a complete traffic picture

The first results are expected in 2024.
