Tunnel Sensor Market Overview

Tunnel sensors are electrical devices that are used to control and monitor the environment in rail, road, or other tunnels. These sensors are designed to track and evaluate air concentrations in the tunnel, a transmitter and receiver are mounted on the tunnel's roof. The transmitter emits visible and infrared LEDs to measure the tube's visibility and gas concentration. The signals obtained are then processed as part of air quality management for ventilation control in these tunnels. Moreover, significant benefits offered by tunnel sensors, such as assessing tunnel health, identifying chemical dangers, and measuring air humidity and temperature, among other parameters, are fueling the market.
