- Abstract
- This study was performed to investigate whether elevated escape pathways in railway tunnels are a cost-effective measure from a socioeconomic perspective. Only future construction of single track drilled tunnels, designated for evacuation without external help, was considered in this report. Literature studies, interviews, and scenario analyses were used to perform a costbenefit evaluation. The study shows that if a passenger train is forced to stop inside a tunnel because of a fire, elevated escape pathways increase the possibilities for a safe evacuation from
the train. Furthermore, it is evident from the results that elevated escape pathways are beneficial from a cost perspective.
