Abstract:

The field of safety in road tunnels has always been an important issue for operators, owners and the responsible authorities. After the tunnel accidents in 1999 the subject gained however in importance. On European level the Directive 2004/54 EC on “Minimum Safety Requirements for Tunnels in the Trans European Road network” has been published. This guideline has to be implemented into national law by all Member States.

According to this guideline all Member States of the European Community shall develop a methodology for risk analyses to be applied in certain cases. For Germany, a standardized methodology for a probabilistic quantitative risk assessment has been worked out.
