Pfänder Tunnel equipped with LED Light Concept

The new LED-based lighting solution in the Pfänder Tunnel plays an important role in ensuring safety in the tunnel. The LED light concept includes the lamps as well as the active guidance and the escapeway markings

The lighting solution with the Type SwaroTube lamps is characterized by homogeneous light distribution and lack of glare. The light is spread evenly and efficiently within the tunnel using precise crystal glass optics

The system with its intelligent control, which enables the light density to be geared to the external intensity level, possesses clear advantages as opposed to conventional tunnel lighting systems. Connecting units and the control unit are situated outside the light casing in distributor cabinets. In this way, there is access to the electronic components at any time without impeding the flow of traffic

Almost 30,000 vehicles pass through the 6.7 km long Pfänder Tunnel each day, making it one of the busiest tunnels in Austria. Extensive redevelopment measures were undertaken during the course of the last 7 years to enhance safety on this important section of the A14. On July 4, 2013, the new west bore and the redeveloped east one were opened ensuring the ASFINAG road construction company had accomplished a quantum leap on one of Voralberg’s most important road links in terms of traffic safety, reducing tailbacks and providing relief for local residents.
