With the aging of tunnel electromechanical systems and the increasing traffic flow year by year, tunnel operations are facing new challenges: A large number of devices, scattered deployment locations, complex working environments, delayed fault detection, and the emergency operation relies on manual experience. To improve road safety and management efficiency, more and more tunnels begin to transform to digital and intelligent.
Wecon smart tunnel management and control solution utilizes “Highly reliable fiber optic ring network communication architecture”, “Efficient and intelligent tunnel device control system”, “Intelligent timed lighting system" and “Intelligent pre-plan linkage control system" to build a smart tunnel system that is “Clearly visible, effectively controllable, rapidly respond, and uninterrupted operation", making tunnel management safer, more efficient, and more stable.
Solution
01 Highly reliable fiber optic ring network communication architecture
Full-scenario intelligent networking: Keep tunnels from being "information islands". This solution adopts fiber optic ring network communication to connect all devices. It supports two-path data transmission, even if a certain optical fiber is damaged, the network can instantly switch to another path, ensuring that the communication is not interrupted and the system works normally.
Distributed intelligent control: Autonomous working without network connection. Each area control cabinet has an independent processing capacity. When the main system is disconnected from the network, the control cabinet will continue to control the device according to the preset logic to ensure that the key functions do not stop swinging and the system is safer and more reliable.
02 Efficient and intelligent tunnel device control system
Unified management on one screen: From manual inspections to remote management. This solution integrates and displays the status, parameters and alarm information of all devices in a single interface. It replaces traditional on-site inspection, enabling intelligent management via remote control.
Full-process traceability. The system automatically records the status before and after each operation, forming a traceable log, which is convenient for analysis, operation and maintenance, it makes management more transparent and controllable.
03 Intelligent timed lighting system
The lighting of this solution adopts "Timed control + Intelligent gear adjustment"
Basic lighting (24 hours): Ensure the minimum safe brightness for tunnels during night time and emergency periods.
Enhanced lighting (daytime): Improve the “Black hole effect" at the entrance and the “White hole effect" at the exit;
Intelligent brightness adjustment: Automatically adjust the brightness by grades according to the change of external light, avoiding too bright or too dark.
The intelligent timed lighting system not only ensures safe passage, but also significantly reduces ineffective energy consumption.
04 Intelligent pre-plan linkage control system
Preset common emergencies and start linkage response with one click
Preset fire, traffic accident, congestion and other events;
Automatic linkage lighting, fans, traffic signals, rolling shutter doors and other devices.
This effectively shortens decision-making and execution time, reduces misoperations caused by staffing shortages or insufficient experience, and ensures consistent, reliable handling.
Advantages
1. High reliability guarantee: Optical fiber ring network + distributed control ensures continuous and stable operation of the tunnel.
2. Rapid incident response: One-click pre-plan realizes automatic linkage, significantly shortening the response time.
3. Log traceability: The system automatically records the equipment status before and after each operation and uploads the data, tracking operation records and providing a basis for operation and maintenance analysis as well as management decision-making.
4. Operation and maintenance cost optimization:Remote monitoring and control reduce the frequency of on-site inspections via automatic logs.
5. Significant energy-saving benefits: Lighting grading and intelligent control bring significant energy savings.
6. Enhanced driving safety: Intelligent lighting and linkage control reduce accident risks and improve driving safety.
With highly reliable communication, intelligent control and visual management as the core, Wecon smart tunnel comprehensive management and control solution builds a safer, more efficient and sustainable technical foundation for tunnels—— supporting long-term stable operation, improved traffic safety and digital transformation.
