AB Fire safety of road tunnels depends on quick identification of a developing fire and its location. Current systems, which are based on the principle of direct temperature sensing, do not identify a fire before its second stage. The paper suggests the possibility of utilizing the principle of the Curie temperature for identification of increased temperatures resulting from a developing fire in road tunnels. The proposed temperature sensor can complement the existing fire protection system for tunnels and increase its effectiveness.
