As a part of a large Norwegian tunnels refurbishment project, Navtech’s ClearWay™ solution was recommended for its automatic incident detection (AID) abilities for two sites. Based on a number of performance requirements, a detailed market analysis found the ClearWay™ solution to be the most reliable.
Mastrafjord and Byfjord subsea Tunnels
The Mastrafjord and Byfjord subsea tunnels make up part of the Rennfast road connection from the mainland, to the island of Rennesoy. In total, both tunnels cover up to 10km in distance and deal with a daily average of 8000 vehicles. After a large tunnel refurbishment project was approved in 2013, it was determined that an advanced level of tunnel security was needed.
Bømlafjord Tunnel
The Norwegian Road Authority the uses ClearWay™ Situational Awareness technology. This solution ensures emergency teams have accurate information when responding to incidents in the Bømlafjord tunnel. Able to see through smoke in a fire, it pinpoints the location of people and their vehicles whatever the conditions inside the tunnel.
