Abstract

The article deals with the evaluation and analysis of the emergency events and using in EMUT application, which is a special program for evidence and evaluation of the emergency events in the road tunnels. Tunnel safety is to be understood as a system consisting of infrastructure, external conditions and impacts. Traffic in road tunnels is more dangerous than on surrounding roads because of limited traffic areas with no daylight, with limited fresh air and less escape possibilities. Tunnel safety requires a number of measures concerning tunnel construction, safety equipment including traffic signs, traffic management, emergency training and information to tunnel users. Incident records from individual road tunnels of Slovakia are processed in the EMUT application, where it is easier to work with them, select, compare and create graphical outputs.
