en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yunex Traffic Portugal will deploy a centralized real-time monitoring platform for the tunnel on Avenida João XXI in Lisbon, driving the technological modernization of this road infrastructure. The company is part of the ABB/Yunex Traffic consortium, which has been awarded a contract by the Lisbon City Council.
The project contract has a 24-month execution period, covering development, installation, and commissioning. During the tunnel rehabilitation works, Yunex Traffic is responsible for the supply, configuration, integration, and startup of all technical systems. These systems will be interconnected to a single management platform for the first time since the tunnel opened in 1997. ABB, as the consortium leader, handles civil engineering, electrical networks, and fiber optic networks.
This technological transformation stems from the tunnel's closure following a fire in 2020, which subsequently initiated infrastructure rehabilitation works. The project involves integrating automatic fire detection and suppression systems, video surveillance with event analysis capabilities, ventilation systems, safety lighting, emergency signaling, broadcasting, and traffic management.
Jorge da Silva Cunha, General Manager of Yunex Traffic Portugal, stated that the project is not simply about replacing existing equipment but building a technologically new infrastructure. With all systems integrated into a common platform, the tunnel's response and management capabilities will be enhanced, representing a significant change in safety and operations.
The works also include constructing a new emergency exit leading to Avenida de Roma, installing traffic lights at existing pedestrian crossings, and painting directional arrows at the intersection of Avenida João XXI. The fire in 2020, which led to the tunnel's closure, also highlighted the necessity for comprehensive system modernization.
Yunex Traffic is a provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure solutions, operating in over 25 countries, with a presence in several Portuguese cities including Lisbon, Porto, Cascais, Oeiras, and Braga. The company offers solutions such as adaptive traffic management, tolling systems, Mobility as a Service (MaaS), and smart charging for electric vehicles, aiming to enhance urban safety, efficiency, and sustainability using artificial intelligence and data analytics.
