| Abstract: |
The field of safety in road tunnels has always been an important issue for operators, owners and the responsible authorities. After the tunnel fires in 1999 the subject gained however in importance. In order to fulfil the requirements of the Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the trans-European road network Member States are to develop a methodology for a risk assessment in addition to the existing standards. The methodology will allow calculating the risks for a specific tunnel in a unified way, considering the main influence parameters and the effect of additional or alternative safety measures by using a comparative approach. The development and implementation of risk based approaches according to the requirements of the Directive 2004/54/EC in the national guidelines is intended to be finalised until April 2009. |
