Abstract


Safety in tunnels is being contemplated through a holistic approach due to accidents that occurred through years. Technological innovations have led to the tunnel concept evolution from civil to technological infrastructure, where technology overcomes the limits of the geometric design, increasing its operating capacity. This paper aims to illustrate SCADRA principles (Supervisory Control Acquisition and Dynamic Risk Analysis), developed thanks to EURAM (EUropean Risk Analysis Method) methodology, which assessed the risk of over 600 road tunnel tubes, focusing on the following values: users and managers' needs (Human-centricity), usage of green technologies and application of energy saving strategy (Sustainability), and improvement of tunnels resilience (Resilience). SCADRA is used in monitoring continuously the tunnel state by gathering the safety influence variables and performing a dynamic risk analysis, quantitative and probabilistic, in real-time. The system was installed in three Italian road tunnels, executing over 130,000 instantaneous risk analyses. The applications’ results and the future developments will be presented according to tunnels’ safety improvement, maintenance, and management.
