Tunnels of Barcelona

Barcelona, following its process of becoming a smart city of reference, has an ongoing project to renew the control systems of the city’s interurban tunnels.

Barcelona trusted again on AVEVA software together with GISIZE to face this series of projects. An advanced solution to smart monitor and control the tunnels was needed to include all the tunnels assets such lighting, smart traffic lights, variable message panels, ventilation systems, and more.

AVEVA System Platform was used as the real time platform SCADA. GISIZE Tunnel’s package was used providing a set of out of the box templates and industrial graphics modelling the most common tunnel assets, such as the traffic lights, the traffic barriers, the lighting systems, the variable message panels and even the circuit breakers of the electrical part.

In addition, GISIZE Geospatial module was used together with Intouch OMI to get a geographical representation of the assets within the tunnel, allowing the operator to view, access and control them easily.

Finally, GISIZE Scheduler & Sequencer module was used to allow the creation of automatic plans directly by the tunnel operator.
