Transport efficiencies and requirements and economics of the project are often given highest priority, followed by environmental considerations, with safety being considered [...]

  • Impact of New Propulsion Technologies on Road Tunnel Operations and Safety - A PIARC Technical Report

    Alternative propulsion technologies, including battery-electric vehicles, are becoming more prevalent. Whilst such vehicles remain a small overall proportion of the vehicle fleet, the combination of impacts of Government policy and technological advances in alternative fuels is expected to accelerate their increase in numbers on the road and in tunnels in coming years. There may also be particular initiatives in certain geographical areas, such as on airport land for example, where higher proportions [...]
