Abstract

By taking the super-long railway tunnel as the object of research, based on setting problems of emergency stations adopted by super-long railway tunnels, from the viewpoint of people's safe evacuation, several aspects were studied, such as the mode of evacuation and rescue by adopting emergency station, the number and interval of the cross passage, and the people's safe evacuation time under different fire scenes at the emergency station. The basis for optimal design and construction of the emergency station in the super-long railway tunnel was provided, and it has vital practical significance to the perfection of fire emergency rescue and safe evacuation plan in super-long railway tunnels.

Keywords: Super-long railway tunnel, Emergency station, Mode of evacuation and rescue, Cross passage, Disaster prevention and rescue.
