Traffic Tech Commissions the First Tunnel Management System
in Qatar
19 January 2010
Traffic Tech (Gulf), in partnership with Telegra, has commissioned the first Tunnel Management System in Qatar, an ITS project implemented on the newly opened Ras Abu Aboud Tunnel that links Corniche and Wakrah Road, leading to the New Doha International Airport.
Equipped with highly advanced ITS components, the system provides traveler real time information, vehicle guidance, lane control, automatic incident detection, speed enforcement, and an automated & synchronized system configuration that manages emergency incidents. In addition, the tunnel is equipped with lane lights for increased lane visibility as well as three Over-height Vehicle Detection Systems that will restrict entry of vehicles over 5.5 meters in height.
All other tunnel components including emergency telephones, fire alarm system, illumination, ventilation system, and surveillance cameras are also integrated to the system, monitored and operated via a graphical user interface (GUI) located at the tunnel’s control room.
