Overview
Background & policy context:
This study is a continuation of the one published by PIARC in 2008 on "Human Factors and road tunnel safety regarding users".
Objectives:
The study addresses two specific points raised in the conclusion of the 2008 report:

- "In case of fire, tunnel users should be alerted by at least two different channels of communication".
