  Advances in Optimum Ventilation Control for Road Tunnels

  Major improvements in road-tunnel safety could be implemented within the first decade of this century. The few years immediately following the large fires in the Mont Blanc (1999), Tauern (1999) and St. Gotthard (2001) mainly focused on technology and organization. New technologies were developed for a rapidly growing market and new equipment was installed. Concurrently, the necessary consolidation and standardization was brought up by new national regulations and in- ternational recommendations. One of the main milestones is represented by the European di- rective 2004/54/EC of 29 April 2004 on minimum safety requirements for tunnels in the Trans- European Road Network. The effect on new tunnels was immediate and in the past decade or so, significant resources were devoted to the improvement of the existing infrastructure. This major effort is almost completed in several countries.
