Tunnel Automation Market Trends

A few trends that are ongoing in the tunnel automation industry include urbanization and developing infrastructure, which have also led to a high need of advanced automation solutions. This has led to some cities globally modernizing their transport systems such as roads, railways & metros due to an increase in urban population. Consequently, this often involves digging new tunnels or repairing existing ones so as to improve traffic flow rapidly. Tunnel automation systems are imperative for these transportation arteries because they guarantee safety and efficiency.
 

One of the trends in the tunnel automation industry is the amalgamation of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud systems. To look after infrastructures, it is possible for tunnel operators to use connected devices and those that are based on cloud technology. These sensors are deployed inside tunnels for real-time data about diverse parameters like temperature, humidity, air quality, traffic flow & structure integrity. That information is then sent to platforms on clouds that store it in order to allow for analysis or visualization.
