AKUT
Acoustic Tunnel Monitoring
The tunnel of the future has ears: AKUT recognizes events faster – even 2 minutes faster than current technology.
The tunnel never stops listening and reacts immediately: Events are detected and localised within 0.7 seconds. The Operator can decide whether to activate the tunnel traffic lights and other emergency measures.
