Study on Fire Impact and Personnel Evacuation of Metro Trains in the Rail-and-Road Integrated Yangtze River-Crossing Tunnel
Publication: Resilience and Sustainable Transportation Systems
ABSTRACT
The interval evacuation is an important problem faced by emergency management of metro operations, especially the tunnel evacuation in the river-crossing area. This paper takes the rail-and-road integrated Yangtze River-crossing tunnel in Wuhan as the background. The subway thermal environment simulation software SES is used to study the smoke control mode of the most unfavorable working conditions in the river-crossing tunnels. The FDS computer modeling is used to simulate the flow of smoke in typical working conditions. Combined with the emergency evacuation experience of the actual operation of Wuhan rail transit, the evacuation plan of the tunnel fan assisted smoke exhausting before and after the opening is obtained. It provides a reference for the emergency evacuation command and operation of the train after the fire broke out in the section of the long railway crossing.
