Tunnels

Tunnels and highways are critical infrastructures where proper management is key to ensuring the mobility of citizens and, above all, their safety.

The sector faces various challenges, which involve a thorough technological adaptation of current control and monitoring systems, in addition to an improvement in operational efficiency, both for management itself and for users.

This implies various challenges:

• At the Systems Level.
• At the People Level.
• At the Infrastructure Management Level.

At the systems level, tunnels and highways, especially tunnels, are infrastructures with a wide variety of equipment. Integrations with lighting control systems, ventilation systems, weather stations, S.O.S. assistance posts, fire or collision detection systems on the road, variable message signs, video recorders, among others, are necessary. Likewise, a system capable of integrating all these technologies is necessary, which is why Becolve Digital has agnostic software solutions capable of integrating with most systems.

People are essential, as various actors are part of the interaction between the processes that are carried out. Tunnel users must have information on what instructions to follow at all times, and the different infrastructure management bodies must be able to efficiently manage any incident or process, be able to monitor it at all times, and automatically involve the action teams in the event of an incident, such as the police or firefighters.

The different locations are also another key factor in the digital transformation of tunnels. On the one hand, it is necessary to cover local control of any of the remote locations, in addition to being able to offer an adequate GIS visualization at the management level, where the information of what is happening can be monitored in a geo-referenced way in real time.
