abstract

Between October 2007 and June 2012, the Belgian Railways Group and its partners built a new railway tunnel under the main runway of Brussels Airport, to unlock the – also enlarged – station from the unidirectional connection that was available at that time. To facilitate evacuation, intervention and rescue in this newly built 4 km long infrastructure of the so-called Diabolo project, we designed an automated fire scenario system which is part of the tunnel’s and station’s safety concept based on EU Directive 2001/16/EC, NFPA 130 and UNECE TRANS/AC.9/9. Furthermore we implemented access control and intrusion detection as part of the complex’ security concept. In this paper we present our design and our experiences of setting up the system. We also present our real ‘‘burning’’ train test, which took place during the commissioning phase of the project and was a unique opportunity to test the system’s response to ‘‘a train on fire’’ entering the tunnel complex.

Conclusions

In this paper we showed how a set of well-considered automatic responses can contribute positively to the implementation of the safety and security policy of a railway tunnel, based on international recommendations. The automated scenarios (and the systems behind it) assist control room operators and intervention teams in the quick assessment of possibly dangerous situations, and assist them in the selection and swift activation of the appropriate escape and rescue facilitation measures. Mainly being infrastructural measures, these ‘technical’ pre-configured fire scenarios are a useful complement to the operational measures which continue to be of utmost importance to safeguard the tunnel infrastructure and its users.
