New SOS system for Swalmen Tunnel and Roertunnel A73

In a tunnel, traffic safety deserves extra attention. If cars slow down or suddenly come to a standstill, it is crucial that this is reported immediately. Then it can be checked in real time whether a dangerous situation is actually occurring. The new SOS system, which stands for Speed ??Undershooting System, detects these speed changes by means of loops and cameras.
