Siemens Mobility to deliver intelligent tunnel solutions for Stockholm Bypass
Trafikverket awards 75 million Euro contract
Siemens Mobility, with Eltel Networks Infranet, to deliver intelligent infrastructure technology
Communications, control and monitoring systems for tunneling
The Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, has announced that it awarded Siemens Mobility a 75 million Euro contract to deliver communications, control and monitoring technologies for a section of the European route number four (E4), the Stockholm Bypass. The new bypass will connect the southern and northern parts of the surrounding Stockholm communities. The bypass is a 21-kilometer road, including 18 kilometers of tunneling around one of Europe's busiest capitals. It will relieve intercity and main thoroughfare congestion, significantly reducing delays for residents and visitors. The construction of the tunnel started in 2014 and is expected to be completed in 2026. Installation and testing of Siemens Mobility technologies will begin in 2021.

"When it is complete, the southern tunnel will be one of the longest in the world, preserving the communities above the tunnel and minimizing environmental impact. With digitalization, Siemens Mobility will make this infrastructure intelligent, increase value over the entire life cycle for Trafikverket and enhance the experience of all Stockholm's residents using the bypass," stated Michael Peter, CEO of Siemens Mobility.
Siemens Mobility will cooperate with Eltel Networks Infranet AB, a leading northern European supplier of technical services for critical infrastructure networks. The contract includes the facility's comprehensive control and monitoring system, which controls safety functions throughout the tunnels. In addition, Siemens Mobility will provide a communications platform, camera surveillance, radio and mobile telephone network and fire and incident detection systems. Prior to installation, Siemens Mobility will provide a comprehensive design for the monitoring and communications systems. Eltel will assist in the design and delivery of the system and will execute installation work in the area. Siemens Mobility will operate and provide maintenance throughout the system together with Eltel.
