The Flemish Traffic Centre, part of the Flemish Roads & Traffic Agency, called on Tein Technology to develop a system to improve tunnel safety with a ground-breaking configuration, combining a state-of-the-art camera system with additional AI analysis software.
The camera systems currently in use in the Flemish tunnel network are built with traditional technology These systems compare live imagery with predefined references of specific cases that might compromise tunnel safety. The problem is, the traditional image comparison technology cannot fully capture the continuously changing conditions inside the tunnel, setting off false alarms all too often, and missing out on less common dangerous situations.
