Tunnels of the future. 2030 objective

A road tunnel project can be approached from a prescriptive point of view, i.e. a tunnel is safe if its design is based on valid regulations. This approach specifies certain safety features and actions that should be included in the projects and their different processes without considering the individual characteristics of each tunnel. However, it is also possible to take a risk-based approach, i.e. a tunnel is safe if it complies with predefined risk criteria.
