Traficon is very pleased to officially announce it has been awarded a contract by the Direction Inter-Départementale des Routes d’Ile-de-France (DIRIF) for delivering its Automatic Incident Detection (AID) solution in 22 tunnels in the Paris Region.

Officially launched by the DIRIF in September 2008, this is the largest tunnel surveillance project of its type ever implemented in the world. Over the next three years, 1,400 cameras linked to Traficon’s Automatic Incident Detection (AID) system will be installed to intensively monitor traffic driving through the Paris Region’s tunnels.

“We know the whole world will be watching the final outcome of this considerable and essential tunnel project. So together with our partners Sdel, Satelec, Clemessy and Fareco, we are all working hard to make the Paris Region tunnels the safest in the world! With already more than 700 VIP-T incident detection boards installed in 32 tunnels spread throughout France, this field-proven module will definitely be capable to meet up with the high-level performance detection requirements,” says Steve Collins, Director of Traficon France.

This large-scale tunnel modernisation project requires an investment of Euro 600 million over five years. The complete project includes eight phases. Currently the consortium of partners is in the process of finalizing the first stage comprising the A86, A14 La Défense and Neuilly tunnel complex.
