Control and Monitoting System

This contract includes the facility's comprehensive control and monitoring system.The ASÖ controls the safety functions and will also be used for the operation and maintenance of the mechanical and electrical systems serving the facility. The ASÖ.will be connected to the Swedish Transport Administration's National Traffic Control Support System for road traffic control and road infrastructure monitoring (NTS), which follows regulations for interfaces, information on alarm management status, as well as control and operation with the NTS.

ASÖ will be designed to achieve a high level of availability and robustness with redundancy for safety functions. Control functions that are common for several operation areas will be performed by control units that are physically separated, located at each end of the facility. In each operation area, the ASÖ will be completely autonomous and manage all control and monitoring. The central units for the mechanical and electrical systems will be placed in the Eletrical Power Service Stations.

The system structure follows the PCMS/ASÖ concept that is applied in the Stockholm Ring Road Northern and Southern Link tunnels. The solution is based on autonomous control units with redundancy for operator interfaces and general tunnel safety functions such as lighting, evacuation and tunnel ventilation.

Communication Platform

The Local Communication Platform (LCP) will be Ethernet-based and handle all communication between all parts of the facility.

Fibre-optic cables for the communication network will be laid in a concrete duct that will run in the utilities culvert along the tunnels.

Fibre-optic cables for the communication network will be laid in a concrete duct that will run in the utilities culvert along the tunnels.

The technical solution for LCP is expected to be specified by the client, as the platform is an integrated part of the Transport Administration's central communication platform.

Camera Surveillance

Camera surveillance will cover the entire road area, giving the Traffic Control Centre a comprehensive overview of the entire facility. The system will include functions for coding, decoding and video storage.

The technical solution is expected to be specified by the client since the platform is an integrated part of the Transport Administration's central camera system.

Radio and Mobile Telephone Network

Systems will be installed in the tunnels in order to maintain radio and mobile phone coverage. The radio system will guarantee access to mobile telephony, secure communications for the emergency services and relay public radio services.

PA System

The loudspeaker system will make it possible to provide information to people inside the rescue rooms that will be located in some of the evacuation routes.

Telephony

Emergency phones will be installed in all evacuation routes. The solution is expected to be specified by the client since the facility will be connected to the Swedish transport administration´s, central telephony solution.

Fire Detection

Fire detection in traffic areas and other spaces will be included in the contract.

Access Control

The contract will include access control systems for the regulation of access to areas that are not open to the public. The technical solution is expected to be specified by the client as the facility will be connected to the Swedish Transport Administrations´s central access control solution.

Incident Detection System

A comprehensive incident detection system, SDS, for the detection of stationary vehicles, dropped loads and other incidents.

It is possible that the Incident Detection System technical solution will be camera or radar based.
