Abstract

In most situations, human and machines are linked in one system and accidents occur in most of them; but, there are no systematic procedures for reporting them. The present work is focused on developing a more scientific methodological approach which applies to reduce train accidents and in particular to improve safety in railway tunnels. The aim of our work is the development of a methodological approach through a probabilistic assessment in order to ensure the safety of users, staff and the emergency services in railway tunnels. We propose a real case concerning the safety of an Italian typical railway tunnel according to Ministerial Decree October 28, 2005.
