This conference focused on tunnels as a vital links in any transportation network. Short periods of closure for maintenance or repairs always generate nuisance. Long periods of closure for renovations will logically lead to severe congestions. For too long, the tunnel community has accepted this nuisance and chaos as a natural side effect of tunnel operations. Should we accept this?
The Beyond A Tunnel Vision conference challenge these old paradigms and move beyond our current, rather narrow, tunnel vision on the management and maintenance of these critical infrastructural assets.
The conference highlighted among other things the use of digital tools, methods and mindset, and this well performed conference gave several examples of best practices.
Our contribution: As part of the steeringboard at the ITA-COSUF, we supported this conference.
