Smoke detectors

About smoke detectors

As the density of the traffic on our roads increases, it is becoming absolutely vital to measure pollutant concentrations in tunnels on a continuous basis. Ourtunnel sensors measure exhaust gases at source, thereby enabling effective monitoring and control of emissions, and ensuring that ventilation systems operate efficiently – even in the event of a fire.

Over 60 years of tunnel expertise – and setting its sight on the future

As the density of the traffic on our roads increases, the future is all about finding ways to increase the availability of tunnels while at the same time improving safety for road and tunnel users. For 60 years, we have been helping road and tunnel operators to take on this challenge, offering innovative products not only for measuring visibility and air quality in routine operation but also for air f low measurement and smoke detection in emergency situations.

Safe driving in tunnels - from start to finish 

Our portfolio of tunnel sensors from SICK is designed for urban tunnels, overland tunnels, and tunnels in rail and subway systems. Whether it be routine operation or emergency situations, we are your one-stop-shop for virtually all tunnel monitoring applications.

We measure:

• Air flow: velocity and direction 
• Air quality: carbon monoxide CO, nitrogen monoxide NO, nitrogen dioxide NO2
• Fog monitoring: visual range 
• Visibility: K value 
• Traffic safety: overheight detection 
• Early fire detection: smoke
