The Öresund link is a fixed connection of 16,4km between Copenhague (Denmark) and Malmö (Sweden). The link supports rail traffic and tolled road traffic.

The link consists of the following elements:

• a peninsula in Kastrup of 430m
• an artificial island south of the Island of Salthom of 4.055m
• a four tube tunnel submerged in the Canal of Drogden of 3.510m
• a viaduct that unites the artificial island with Sweden of 7.845m

The complete project includes:

• a CCTV system for supervision of the traffic
• a dynamic signalisation system for guiding the traffic and informing the users
• a fire detection system
• a SCADA system in the control centre for supervision of all control systems
• a video detection system for traffic data collection and incident detection

The video detection system with VIP2, VIP22, VIP23 and VIP41 provides direct incident detection on 174 cameras including stopped vehicle detection in the tunnel and on the bridge. The system also provides vehicle counting, queue detection and detection of wrong-way drivers.

When an incident occurs, the VICCOM board completes the picture with pre- and post-incident image recording.
