Abstract

Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) of railway is to create a variety of scenario and to quantify the degree of risk by a result of the product of accident frequency and accident. Quantitative risk Assessment is affected by various factors such as tunnel specifications, characteristics of the fire, and relation of smoke control and evacuation direction. So in this study, it is conducted that how the way of smoke control and the relation of smoke control and evacuation direction affect quantitative risk assessment with variables (the tunnel length (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 km) and the slope (5, 15, 25‰)). As the result, in a train fire at the double track tunnel (Area = $97m^2$), it is most efficient to evacuate to the opposite direction of smoke control regardless of the location of train in train fire. In addition, under the same condition, index risk in mechanical ventilation up to 1/10.

철도터널에 대한 정량적 위험도 평가는 다양한 시나리오를 작성하고 사고발생빈도 및 사고의 결과의 곱으로 위험도를 정량화하는 것이다. 정량적 위험도 평가는 터널제원, 화재특성, 제연방법, 제연과 대피방향의 관계 등 다양한 인자에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 터널연장(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 km) 및 경사도(5, 15, 25‰)를 변수로 하여 제연방법 및 제연과 대피방향의 관계가 정량적 위험도 평가에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이 결과로 복선터널 단면(단면적 $97m^2$)에서는 열차화재시 열차중 화재차량의 위치와 무관하게 제연반대방향으로 대피하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이와 같은 조건에서 기계환기시 위험도지수가 자연환기 보다 약 1/10까지 감소하는 것으로 평가되었다.
