24.6.2020. Results are sobering: more than half of the control tunnel, at least for safety in European road tunnels does not meet the requirements of the European Union. The ADAC conducted by the club in Italy in the case of the Trans-European road network on the major travel routes through the space tunnel, visual inspection and measurements of the results of a survey of 16, studied in Austria and Croatia.
However, there are large differences between the countries. Over the last 20 years has invested in Austria, the ADAC also reflected measures to improve safety in tunnels against examination results 5.6 billion euros. all of the studied tunnel in Austria there with the EU minimum requirements.
Croatia also Aircraft, Standards, operation and control of the tunnels that is not suitable for oncoming traffic mostly solid three tubes, just one. The breakdown of each other (instead of 1.750 1000 meters) remote coves in addition to came to the emergency exits is missing, and there is a lack of external access to rescue workers.
Studied Italian in the tunnels, there were major shortcomings in terms of security, especially in event-Control and self-recovery in the field. A (Allocco) inspection of the tunnel meet only the minimum EU standards, at least partially, it’s not even seven and more. Alone, six tunnels, including the tunnel and watch out for the worst score of Les Cretes Giovi offers, Autostrade per l’italia carried out by private companies. Three test tunnels in both categories, there were any structural and technical requirements of the EU directive.
No, or common examination:-the most serious deficiencies in the ADAC tunnel which taps the water of fire-bys, emergency exits and lack of emergency facilities such as lay-spaced. In the event of an accident, this can be life threatening. Ultimately, six of the 16 test tunnel testing, remediation measures is seen in time.
Without notice, the 24 test were collected. February 6. The passage repeated structural conditions and equipment of the tunnel visible in the month of March. Distance measurements are also performed visual inspections of a specially prepared car. The obtained data the following three categories: prevention, self-rescue, and Incident Control were evaluated.
1999 ADAC safety test since important road links in Europe for the last 20 years and evaluated for underground tunnel 400. A total of 53 people cost in the same year, in response to catastrophic accidents in the Mont Blanc tunnel and the Tauren.
The later years of the European Union member states to apply the minimum standards as defined in the 2004 tunnels in the stable with instructions responded. For this, ten years, in exceptional cases, for example Austria, Croatia and Italy in 15 years, so you have until April 2019.
In some countries, the European Commission launched in October 2019, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Croatia and Spain against the violation of the covenant, the procedure of this requirement so adequate, but still not appropriate, or not.
