Technical requirements: In order to increase safety in tunnels and to maintain the ambition on the vision zero, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration would like to look at new areas and new technology from different parts of the industry, in order to make self-rescue in tunnels safer for everyone.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has up to 8 000 000 GBP for the development of innovative systems connected to tunnel safety.
We are looking for systems that quickly give road users a good understanding of the situation in real time when an unexpected incident has occurred in a tunnel. The use of technological systems in combination with the tunnel's other technical infrastructure shall enable road users to evacuate by self-rescue independent of the incident and their position in the tunnel.
The systems must be technologically robust, able to function in the tunnel's existing technical infrastructure and be able to see to road users' different reaction patterns in crisis situations.
The reference assignments' relevance in light of the contracting authority's description of needs will be weighted 50 %.
The tenderer's execution of the reference assignments, when it comes to both process and the final result, including handling the assignment's challenges, risk management, etc. will be weighted 30 %.
The assignment's complexity (including the technology, the actual process, etc.) will be weighted 20 %.
The contracting authority is not obliged to buy the system, but will have an option to procure the system after the partnership has ended.
