Market Introduction
Tunnel sensors play a crucial role in any tunnel safety system by sensing and monitoring various important parameters such as ventilation, air quality, visibility, and lighting. The efficient measurement of these parameters helps tunnel construction and management companies in ensuring high operational efficiency, preventing tunnel accident/fatalities, and reducing costs. The demand for tunnel sensors in applications such as air quality monitoring for ventilation control and smoke detection is growing at an impressive pace. In addition to this, the growing environmental pollution concerns and people safety concerns are further driving the demand for these sensors to measure concentration of gases such as Nitric Oxide (NO) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) in tunnel environments. The adoption of tunnel sensors in road and railway tunnels is anticipated to increase owing to various advantages offered by these sensors. Some of the common advantages include cost savings, high accuracy, enhanced productivity, and environmental benefits.
