| Activity: | The Multidimensional City |
| Descripción: | The general objective of the project is to develop new technologies associated to the building and utilization of underground spaces to promote their utilization in urban environments. A total of 24 Spanish companies and entities participate in this project coordinated by DRAGADOS. The role of AITEMIN in this project is to cover various aspects related to the data transmission system, energy, fire safety and personnel training. |
| Activity: | Fires in tunnels - UPTUN project |
| Descripción: | Development of measures for improving safety conditions towards fire in already existing tunnels. The objectives are orientated on the one hand to the development of innovative measures for limiting the probability and effects of fires in already existing tunnels, and on the other hand towards a procedure for evaluating and improving the safety conditions in existing tunnels. |
