The risk assessment draws on the typical F-N curves of societal risk, evaluated with the help of event tree analysis, vehicle queue formation dynamics, and users’ egress and tenability models. In addition, the model considers the reliability of the safety measures. The work provides essential guidance on the following aspects: how a quantitative model can be implemented to evaluate risk in road tunnels; how to build an event tree for the accident scenarios considered; how to simulate the vehicle queue formation; how to simulate the evolution of accident scenarios; and how to simulate the users’ egress. Given its scope and depth of coverage, the book will be of interest to all engineers whose work involves fire protection and safety in tunnels, all persons engaged in safety and transport engineering or risk analysis for road tunnels, as well as public and private bodies involved in the application of Directive 2004/54/EC.

An update of the existing PIARC methodology was necessary, as the emission standards of the vehicles were becoming more stringent and hence the vehicles cleaner. The old version described the emission situation up to the year 1995. This document has been produced by Working Group 2 of the PIARC Technical Committee on Road Tunnel Operations in the framework of its activities btween 2001 and 2003. Due to a steady tightening of emission laws for vehicles and changes in the risk assessment of tunnel fire, some design data may need constant updating. In this publication, new design information and some references are given for sizing longitudinal and transverse ventilation systems.
