Abstract

This work focuses on the human behaviour during an evacuation of a motorway tunnel. First of all all the type of signalization have been taken into account, according with the current legislation updated after the Mont Blanc Tunnel tragedy of March 1999. In order to study how people behaves in case of emergency an interesting methodology has been applied: Thomas Saaty's Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP), based on matrix weight calculation. This methodology has been implemented in a simulation model that considers different scenarios, based on the signs' position. All the scenarios then have been analysed and evaluated using well-known techniques such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
