Sprinx AI-powered AID solution for the safety upgrade of the tunnel d’En Raxat in the Pyrenees

Sprinx is proud to have been selected by Bouygues Energie et Services, which has been awarded the project for the modernization of the tunnel d’En Raxat, an essential route connecting Port-Vendres to Argelès-sur-Mer and Perpignan. Located on RD914 near Collioure, this 525-meter-long tunnel plays a key role in relieving congestion on coastal roads.

Ensuring its safety and operational efficiency is essential for maintaining seamless connectivity in the area.

As part of this strategic initiative, Sprinx will provide its advanced Automatic Incident Detection (AID) solution, traffix.ai, to ensure the highest level of security and reliability within the tunnel. Given that the tunnel will not be manned during nighttime operations, the incident detection system must deliver exceptional accuracy in alarm signaling. False alarms must be minimized to prevent unnecessary tunnel closures, as the system will automatically trigger nighttime shutdowns in the event of a detected incident.

 The Sprinx AID solution will be permitting:

  • Real-time video analysis to detect potential incidents with high precision.
  • Seamless integration with tunnel operation protocols, allowing operators to verify alerts through video surveillance before manually initiating emergency closure scenarios.
  • Automated response mechanisms, ensuring that if an alarm is not reviewed within a set timeframe, the tunnel will be closed automatically for safety reasons.

Additionally, Sprinx will deploy dragon , a central AID server that  enables user friendly AID management interface and a seamless integration with other infrastructure management systems. This ensures a coordinated and intelligent approach to incident response, reducing risks and improving tunnel operations.

Reliable AI for critical infrastructure

The incorporation of Deep Learning (AI) technology in Sprinx’s solutions enhances the system’s ability to detect objects and incidents even under challenging lighting and environmental conditions. This high-reliability approach is essential for a tunnel of such strategic importance, where every incident must be swiftly and accurately assessed to maintain safe and efficient traffic flow.even automatically without any human intervention for verification and validation.

By delivering cutting-edge AI-driven safety solutions, Sprinx is reinforcing its commitment to improving transportation infrastructure, ensuring that the Tunnel d’En Raxat remains a secure and efficient gateway.
