Indra implements Horus in the Chamisero tunnel 2 to optimize traffic control and safety

This platform will be responsible for managing the surveillance systems, security and control of this infrastructure 1,6 kilometers, that is being built in Chile, and will be integrated into the existing control center of the Chamisero tunnel 1.

Indra is implementing its technology for the comprehensive management of the Chamisero tunnel 2, of the Northeast Highway Concessionaire, which is currently under construction. This project contemplates the implementation of the security and traffic control systems of the new infrastructure of 1,6 kilometers, of the Nororiente Highway Concessionaire, in the existing control center of the Chamisero tunnel 1, which was also developed by Indra.

In this way, The knowledge and experience that the company already has on this infrastructure is used to enhance its functionalities., optimize resources and improve traffic control and safety.

As infrastructure, The Chamisero II tunnel will have modern security and signage elements, with four emergency connections, two of them inside the tunnels and one in each south and north exit. Emergency parking bays are also incorporated, Lightning, signaling, SOS posts, SGT, ventilación, fire control and CCTV system.

Indra is implementing its Horus solution, a platform designed specifically for surveillance, safety and traffic control in tunnels. It is a centralized management solution that integrates infrastructure control systems with Intelligent Traffic Systems. (ITS), as variable signaling systems, traffic data capture, CCTV video monitoring (CCTV) and IP video, automatic incident detection, fire detection, ventilation control, iluminación, power supply and communications, network of aid posts, o public address and environmental data capture.

Besides, the platform has the ability to incorporate any new system that the client needs in the future, since it is an open solution, flexible y configurable.

Horus guarantees maximum operability, both in daily management and in emergency situations. Operators can monitor the state of the road at all times and have real-time information for decision making., as well as a reporting tool.

The high level of automation of operations facilitates quick and accurate management of everything that happens in the tunnel. For example, the video surveillance system with automatic incident detection, based on computer vision, Warns operators in the event that an object falls on the road, there is smoke in the tunnel, a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction or any other setback that could put traffic on the road or safety at risk.

This facilitates the immediate reaction of operators, who can take the necessary measures to deal with the situation, as, For example, allow vehicles to travel bi-directionally on a single carriageway if necessary, without the need to interrupt circulation.

Horus, besides, meets the highest safety and quality standards set for the tunnels of the trans-European road network, the Eurocode.
