OCR Journey—Tunnel Emergency

Solution brief

  • Watch cutting-edge technology improve outcomes in a subterranean environment.

  • In this scenario, a trailer containing unknown chemicals collides with oncoming traffic in an underground tunnel. The ensuing multi-car accident causes a chemical spill, backing up traffic in the tunnel. The journey begins at the Tunnel Emergency vignette at the Solutions Showcase with an introduction and overview of the event and the supporting technology solutions. Attendees are then transported to the CityScape to witness the live-action crisis scenario, where first responders enact the crisis with innovative technology. It will take up to 40 minutes and will portray:

    • Intelligent video and sensors that alert operators and responders
    • First responders and HAZMAT teams conducting rescue operations
    • Multiple technologies used to remove wrecked vehicles and open up the tunnel

    On the way back to the Solutions Showcase and into the vignette, the crisis is reviewed, assessed, and deconstructed by technology experts. Attendees may also take part in interactive, hands-on experiential activities and a Q&A session.
