In-situ measurement of visibility
Particles such as dust and soot, as well as tire and break wear limit visibility in tunnels. Tunnel sensors from SICK, including the VISIC100SF and VICOTEC320, continuously and directly monitor the tunnel atmosphere and visibility. The measured values are used for accurate, reliable control of the tunnel ventilation. In addition, the VISIC100SF tunnel sensor from SICK for in situ measurement of visibility has no moving or wear parts and is nearly maintenance-free.
