Tunnels are critical for transport networks, but there is currently a lack of evidence on best practices to ensure their sustainable management, safety, and operational reliability, and on how these outcomes can be embedded into the design of future tunnels.

The aim of this programme is to undertake research addressing the challenges of aging tunnel infrastructure in Europe.

It seeks to develop broadly applicable outcomes that improve sustainable management,safety, and operational reliability, supporting renovation, refurbishment, and lifecycle‑based decision‑making, while informing the design of future tunnels.
 
The Programme Executive Board (Belgium-Flanders, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, and Slovenia) subsequently selected the following project: 
 
Part A - Remote Condition Monitoring for Tunnel Asset Management
 
 

ReMoCAT - Remote Condition Monitoring for Tunnel Asset Management, commissioned by CEDR, by bridging the gap between technological capability and operational practice, the project enables remote observation and monitoring to become an integrated and trusted component of tunnel asset management. In doing so, it contributes to safer, more reliable and more sustainable management of Europe’s tunnel infrastructure and provides a common foundation for future development and collaboration across the CEDR community.

Project Partners: Amberg Group with Amberg Engineering; Amberg INFRA7D; Amberg Technologies; VSH; Amberg Infocon; 
and Amberg Loglay  

Part B - Training and Simulation for Tunnel Operations
 

PAIDEIA - Program for Advancing Immersive and Digital Education and training solutions for tunnel Infrastructure and Assets, commissioned by CEDR, the primary purpose of the PAIDEIA project is to address the specialized operational and safety challenges within tunnel environments. The initiative aims to bolster the professional capacity and competence of those involved in tunnel management and operations, ensuring consistent safety, efficiency, and knowledge transfer across various organizations and countries. Recognizing the current lack of tailored training programs, the project seeks to create harmonized methods to effectively prepare professionals for the complex and high-risk tunnel environment.

Project Partners: Sweco BV; Sweco Netherlands BV; Risk Design Engineering; Sovik Consulting; Ruhr University Bochum, Institute for Tunnelling and Construction Management; Chenext Technologies
