Abstract

Video Surveillance Systems (VSSs) are integral parts of road tunnels. Currently, they perform a number of functions, such as ensuring the protection of tunnel technologies, monitoring tunnel operation, or recognising license plates. If VSSs are to be designed to protect the tunnel and its technologies from unauthorised intentional human activity, it is necessary to ensure that they are designed in such a way as to meet the essential functionality requirement of the physical protection system (PPS). In this case, the VSS, as one of the alarm systems, should perform the function of early intrusion detection. The verification of the functionality of the PPS is possible using a software tool to model and simulate various intrusion scenarios. This article provides an example of the use of the SATANO software evaluation tool. The VSS enables multiple applications, such as monitoring, detection, knowledge, and identification. In this paper, the defined current standardised requirements for the design of VSSs in tunnels are considered from the point of view of their possible use for intelligent video analysis, enabling the recognition of various risk situations (e.g., faults or accidents of vehicles). Using the software tool, IP Video Design Tool, the requirements for the design of cameras in tunnels are assessed and adapted from the perspective of the use of intelligent video analysis. In the event that there is a requirement to use the VSS during emergency situations (e.g., fire), it is necessary to assess the operating conditions and period of time through which the VSS would operate in a given tunnel. This article presents the results of the simulation of the spread of a fire in a tunnel and its impact on the operation of the VSS.
