will be the largest tunnel Peninsula. Is born in Marão, have six km and is part of A4. In addition to the size, will be distinguished by various security and traffic monitoring systems, which make this one of the most advanced Portuguese road works.



The Marão Tunnel, venture launched in the government of José Sócrates, made headlines for issues that relate to the award of contracts in a mess that led to the machines stop for two years.

But the meeting was resumed and now entering the home stretch. And at this time are known some of the security and road monitoring systems that will be installed along the six kilometers of the tunnel.

They are intelligent control systems and traffic management, with the solution for managing tunnels Horus developed by Indra.

The goal is to control the movement in the tunnel, so that it is completely safe. In addition to the accident detection, the system provides video surveillance by closed circuit, fire detection, aid points to motorists and others

The model now installed on Marão tunnel has already been successfully tested five years ago in another tunnel, in Tehran, Iran’s capital.

The Marão Tunnel is one of the most intelligent, gifted technologies that allow for action as soon as detected an accident, a fire outbreak, or other event that disrupts the normal circulation and safety.

Indra’s solution also integrates a goods control system dangerous, to control enrollments, as well as ventilation and environmental sensors with a human team ready to take action where appropriate.

The longest tunnel of the Iberian Peninsula is integrated into the new motorway connecting Bragança to Oporto (A4). The works are completed within a few months, with the opening to traffic is scheduled for 2016.
