Safer Roads. Greener Future #5: Tunnel Smoke Test

🚨 Smoke. Fire. Zero visibility. What happens inside a tunnel when every second matters? 🌫️🚦
In this new episode of Safer Roads. Greener Future., Anja steps inside the Visp Tunnel in Switzerland to uncover the hidden intelligence that protects millions of travelers – even in the most critical situations.

Together with Sascha Schlatter, Team Lead Engineering at Bergauer AG, we explore how a Tunnel Guidance System:
🧠 Acts as the tunnel’s decision-making brain
💡 Illuminates escape routes and emergency signage
🚫 Stops incoming traffic, while ensuring vehicles already inside can exit safely
🔥 Monitors the spread of fire and smoke in real time and ensures efficient smoke extraction through the ventilation systems
🛣️ Connects with higher-level traffic management systems, ensuring information is seamlessly shared with Emergency Response Organizations

To make sure everything works flawlessly, the team performs an intense real smoke test inside the tunnel. Most of us drive through tunnels without thinking twice.

Today, you'll discover the cutting-edge engineering that makes that confidence possible.
🎬 Watch now and step into the future of tunnel safety!
