Smart Tunnel and Dynamic Risk Analysis
The article proposes an innovative system of supervision and data acquisition, oriented to fire safety through a dynamic risk analysis, called supervisory control and dynamic risk analysis (SCADRA). SCADRA achieves operation and management benefits for safety, functionality, and energy optimization, by means of dynamic control and monitoring measures. A 'Smart Tunnel' can be defined as a model where technical systems are designed and installed in an advanced way, by using digital components and sensors. SCADRA has been developed to offer a complete tool (human machine interface) for real-time monitoring of tunnel safety by tunnel operators, integrated with the innovative dynamic risk analysis. SCADRA offers compensatory and/or supplementary safety measures for emergency management and supports fire rescue teams that are operating in tunnel in which some requirements could not be realized.
