  Best Practices and Perspectives for Cross Connections in Twin-Tube Rail Tunnels

  Cross connections represent a fundamental safety facility for rail tunnels. The key parameters characterizing cross connections, including maximum distance, minimum dimensions, technical equipment and level of protection, depend on a number of regulations and vary significantly from country to country. For this reason, a research study was initiated by Amberg Engineering Ltd. in cooperation with the Swiss Technical University HSR Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil (CH) and ITA COSUF for investigating the international state-of-the-art and identifying best practices. Experiences from former professional fire fighters are used to support the proposed solutions for best practices. This paper summarizes the main findings from this investigation.
