Abstract
This report describes the methodology for performing a quantitative risk analysis for a unidirectional road tunnel. By using representative accident scenarios, a basic queue model and performing an evacuation analysis the amount of casualties for each scenario can be estimated. By using the described methodology it gives the decision-makers a good idea of the risk level in the tunnel. The results can suitably be used by decision-makers when deciding upon which resources should be spent on further safety installations for the tunnel.
