AKUT® at the 13th International Conference Tunnel Safety and Ventilation in Graz

On 21 and 22 April 2026, AKUT® was represented with its own exhibition booth at the 13th International Conference Tunnel Safety and Ventilation in Graz, Austria. The international conference provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas with experts in tunnel safety, tunnel operation, ventilation, risk analysis, digitalization and artificial intelligence.

AKUT® means Acoustic Incident Detection in Tunnels for safety in tunnels

Our presence focused on AKUT® – Acoustic Incident Detection in Tunnels. The system uses intelligent microphones and AI-based analysis methods to detect safety-relevant events such as crashes, tyre bursts, tyre squeal, horns, door slamming or voices at an early stage. Critical incidents can therefore be detected within a very short time and forwarded to tunnel operators.

We were particularly pleased by the many valuable discussions at our booth, the strong interest in acoustic incident detection and the exchange on current requirements for modern tunnel safety systems. The conference once again highlighted the importance of reliable, fast and intelligent detection systems for safe tunnel operation.

We would like to thank all visitors to our booth for their interest, inspiring conversations and valuable professional exchange.
