Computational analysis of fire and people evacuation for different positions of burning vehicles in a road tunnel with emergency exits

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.
