This article deals with the problems of detection of dangerous substances in the road tunnel during an accident and proposes-design and construction of a mobile sensor system for online detection. Gases are measured by specific detectors of the MQ series. The D1 mini Pro development board with WiFi chip integration was chosen as the control unit. The universal sensor was designed especially for firefighters intervening during an accident in road tunnels. The measured data are sent and saved into the external database, from which they are then presented on the website. The website is then viewed on-line firefighters who intervene in the tunnel during an accident.
