Abstract
The tunnel environment is challenging for conventional fire protection systems and new approaches are becoming an imperative. For example, reliable and early fire detection in tunnels can provide the tunnel operator with an early warning of a fire incident and its location, allowing for timely activation of emergency systems such as the emergency ventilation system.
