Applying a stochastic-based approach for developing a quantitative risk assessment method on the fire safety of underground road tunnels

Fire safety is an important aspect of underground road tunnels’ operation. Undertaking high traffic volumes, they are one of the most critical infrastructure for the daily operation of modern urban networks. Aiming to guarantee their safety, risk assessment has been established as a valuable tool. However, the deterministic approach of existing methods has weaknesses in addressing the embedded uncertainty included in important parameters of the...
