Positioning of people in road and rail tunnels in the event of fire

Positioning of people in road and rail tunnels in the event of fire

If there are people left in a road or railway tunnel where a fire has broken out and where they in that case are located are likely factors that can be expected to influence on how the rescue operation develops, and on the rescue service’s ability to assist the evacuation. A system for locating people evacuating is therefore considered to be a technical installation that can largely contribute to increasing both the possibilities for evacuating in the event of a fire and to more efficient rescue interventions.
