Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention
Actualmente en situaciones y contextos en los que resulta crítico transmitir algún tipo de información, mensaje o aviso, se recurre al uso de la señalización. La señal como imagen o representación que informa o avisa de algo sustituye a otros métodos de comunicación permitiendo una transferencia de información más rápida. Para poder transmitir la información, las señales deben ser visualizadas, es decir, deben de captar la atención de las personas a las que van destinadas el mensaje. Currently, in situations and contexts in which it is critical to transmit some type of information, message or warning, the use of signaling is used. The signal as an image or representation that informs or warns of something replaces other communication methods allowing a faster transfer of information. In order to transmit the information, the signals must be visualized, that is, they must capture the attention of the people to whom the message is intended.
Por este motivo el diseño de las mismas se debe basar en formas, colores y distribuciones geométricas, orientadas a captar y fijar la atención, de igual modo ha de ser entendida su iconografía y debe ser lo suficientemente autocontenida, como para poder transmitir el mensaje de modo universal y sin lugar a interpretaciones erróneas. Habitualmente las señales transmiten información sobre el contexto en el que se encuentran y el modo de interactuar con él, por ejemplo, las señales viarias, más comunes, mantienen siempre visible su mensaje, que usualmente es estático. For this reason, their design must be based on geometric shapes, colors and distributions, aimed at capturing and fixing attention, in the same way their iconography must be understood and must be self-contained enough to be able to convey the message of Universal mode and no place for misinterpretation. Usually the signals transmit information about the context in which they are found and how to interact with it, for example, the most common road signs always keep their message visible, which is usually static.
Existen otras señales que solo transmiten su mensaje ante ciertas circunstancias, este es el caso típico de las señales que se activan en casos de emergencia. There are other signals that only transmit your message under certain circumstances, this is the typical case of the signals that are activated in emergencies.
En los casos de señalización de situaciones de emergencia, la información transmitida es crítica, ya que informa de riesgos potenciales o da soporte al modo de actuación, como es el caso de la señalización en caso de incendio.  In cases of emergency situation signaling, the information transmitted is critical, since it reports potential risks or supports the mode of action, as is the case of signaling in case of fire.
Por este motivo, estas señales son más frecuentes e imprescindibles en entornos complejos u hostiles, en los que se debe actuar con especial precaución, los túneles son un claro ejemplo de ello. For this reason, these signals are more frequent and essential in complex or hostile environments, in which special care must be taken, the tunnels are a clear example of this.
En la solicitud de patente P201 100724 se describe un método y sistema inteligente para la gestión de emergencias en túneles de carretera, basado en que el personal encargado de gestionar la seguridad en un túnel de carretera dispone de un sistema inteligente que trabajando a tiempo real, brinda propuestas de decisión adecuadas en dependencia de la emergencia detectada.  Patent application P201 100724 describes an intelligent method and system for emergency management in road tunnels, based on the fact that the personnel in charge of managing security in a road tunnel have an intelligent system that works in real time, provides adequate decision proposals depending on the emergency detected.
Además de la propuesta de decisiones, el sistema realiza un análisis de eventos precedentes similares, en base al análisis estadístico de la accidentalidad en túneles de carretera ofreciendo bajo una probabilidad dada, una estimación del alcance y consecuencias del incidente registrado, en relación al número y lesividad de personas involucradas en el accidente, además de las atrapadas en el túnel, de modo que, en el caso de decretarse la necesidad de evacuar el túnel por la gravedad del suceso, el método y sistema realiza una prognosis sobre el tiempo total necesario para proceder a la evacuación total del túnel, especialmente ideado para optimizar la toma de decisiones a la hora de gestionar una determinada emergencia, Asimismo, existen diversas patentes, P9601957 "Sistema de iluminación para señales de tráfico", modelos de utilidad U200901552 "Panel luminoso de señalización vial" y U200200099 "Disposición de emisores ópticos y acústicos aplicable para la información de accesos y salidas de túneles, pasos a nivel y similares", relacionadas con la señalización autónoma, basada en sensores y en entornos hostiles, Es posible encontrar información sobre sistemas de señalización, en la que, habitualmente se considera dichos elementos como dispositivos meramente pasivos, carentes de inteligencia, o limitándose a una mera autoiluminación con control temporal y de luz ambiente: En tal sentido, podemos referirnos al trabajo «Señalización de emergencia en túneles carreteros y ferroviarios,» N. Suárez, Obras Urbanas, 2009 y «Smart Signáis: Enabling Traffic Controller Technology,» National Institute of Advanced Transportation Technology (NI ATT), 2006. In addition to the proposal for decisions, the system performs an analysis of similar preceding events, based on the statistical analysis of the accident in road tunnels, offering, under a given probability, an estimate of the scope and consequences of the recorded incident, in relation to the number and Injury of people involved in the accident, in addition to those caught in the tunnel, so that, in the case of decreeing the need to evacuate the tunnel due to the severity of the event, the method and system performs a prognosis on the total time needed to proceed to the total evacuation of the tunnel, specially designed to optimize decision-making when managing a certain emergency.

Suárez, Urban Works, 2009 and« Smart Signáis: Enabling Traffic Controller Technology, »National Institute of Advanced Transportation Technology (NI ATT), 2006.

Cuando se considera desplegar un ambiente inteligente en un entorno hostil, como puede ser un túnel, se podría pensar en la posibilidad de plantear un sistema de comunicación cableado debido a las dificultades existentes para la comunicación basada en radiofrecuencia (RF). No obstante, el uso de la radiofrecuencia no es nuevo en estos entornos, siendo comúnmente utilizada en sistemas de transporte subterráneos como el metro. Topologías como las redes malladas de sensores y actuadores, podrían generar cobertura a lo largo de un túnel, posibilitando el intercambio de información entre los diferentes dispositivos presentes en el mismo. When considering deploying an intelligent environment in a hostile environment, such as a tunnel, one could think of the possibility of planning a wired communication system due to the existing difficulties for radiofrequency (RF) based communication.
