Common life-safety targets in traffic tunnels
The Swedish Transport Agency and the Swedish Transport Administration have completed a R&D project ‘Common life safety targets in traffic tunnels’ in which a common life-safety target was formulated, with a clear link to public benefit for users of road, rail, tramway and subway tunnels. The findings concludes that the suggested levels provide a life-safety target that is optimised in terms of both societal cost and politically stated safety targets for the transport sector. The results, which are presented in this paper, will be the basis for a forthcoming national legislation. Quantitatively verifiable target levels have been developed, in which the probability of fatalities per person-km and acceptance criterias are established using two F/N-curves – one upper and one lower, with an ALARP zone between them. Sensitivity analyses have been carried out for the chosen levels, and results are presented regarding the positive and negative aspects of recommended levels from a regulatory perspective.
