A ventilation system of Kanetsu-tunnel, which is one of the longest mountain tunnels in Japan, does not only work as circulation but also smoke control to evacuate people in fire accident. In the emergency, an evacuation tunnel is pressurized to prevent penetration of smoke. This structure has been realized by making pressure difference between road tunnel and the evacuation tunnel. Therefore, to [...]

In years where most of the road infrastructures are severely ageing worldwide, but still enormously contributing to transportation smoothness (people, cargo, etc.), careful monitoring attention is needed in mind of climate/weather change (extreme events, natural/man-made disasters, material aging, etc.) and capacity needs increase (increased flows for users). These factors are contributing to the [...]
