The paper shows the findings of fire simulation for various types of vehicles located in different longitudinal positions within a road tunnel. This is an issue that researchers have little investigated over time and so very few studies are available in the literature. The corresponding environmental conditions (expressed in terms of temperature, radiant heat flux, visibility, and CO concentration) along the people evacuation path are also presented, while the associated safety conditions with and without emergency exits are estimated.

Fire prevention in museums is a much more complex matter because the safeguarding of human life must be integrated both with the protection of the cultural heritage of buildings and the unrepeatability of the works of art exhibited. While most fires cannot be prevented, implementing complementary safety measures can help both to mitigate the negative impacts and limit costs. This is an issue that researchers have little investigated over time and thus very few studies are available in the literature.
