Evacuation of a High Floor Metro Train in a Tunnel Situation: Experimental Findings

摘要: The paper investigates the evacuation of passengers from a metro train in simulated tunnel situation with focus on close geometry passage between cars and walls. Furthermore trains for underground transportation usually have high floor which means that people to overcome height 1.0 1.2 m surrounding ground adopting different types exiting strategies. In addition people, who try leave through one doors onto escape route, pass this door outside at same time, interfere react each other some way. Due those risks two full-scale experiments were conducted newly released presently used by Vienna Transport Authorities, participants subjected evacuation.
