2 PagesGermany’s 4 th -Longest Traffic Tunnel Relies on AP Sensing Jagdberg Tunnel, Jena, Germany The 3.1 km Jagdberg tunnel was designed to move traffic from a hilly, winding stretch of road into the twin tunnels (3 lanes each) near Jena, in eastern Germany. AP Sensing’s Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) solution was selected for fire detection. The new twin tunnels were opened in late 2014 and represent Germany’s fourth-longest traffic tunnel. During the construction, great attention was given to tunnel security. Comprehensive fire tests were carried out to test the tunnel itself, AP S en si ng ’ s Linear Heat Detection System, and the smoke extraction system. In all cases the detection times specified were met or exceeded by the AP Sensing DTS. In addition, for the first time in a German t
