With fatal accidents in tunnels increasing drastically over the last few years, traffic safety in tunnels has become more and more important to save lives and reduce infrastructure damage & loss. MediaTunnel is a video-based Automatic Incident Detection (AID) System for tunnels. It provides Automatic Incident Detection in real time in tunnels, through video image processing. MediaTunnel allows fast automatic real time incident detection with an alarm and on-screen highlighting (audible and visual) of incidents within seconds after an incident occurs. Thus, it limits the risks of secondary accidents and enables proactive responses to incidents to minimize human loss and infrastructure damage. Limiting the risk of secondary accidents is enabled by allowing for warnings to be issued to upcoming drivers.
