Abstract:

Evacuation and rescue are significant problems in all transportation systems. Serious injuries and loss of life can result from situations in which inadequate means of evacuating and rescuing passengers exist. In conventional transportation systems, transportation personnel can help to evacuate and rescue passengers. AGT systems, however, present a number of special evacuation and rescue problems because they are highly automated systems. Operation of AGT systems with elevated guideways also presents significant problems. This document is Volume I of the Final Report on Evacuation and Rescue in Automated Guideway Transit and describes the methodology used in developing evacuation and rescue guidelines. Volume II is a Guidebook to evacuation and rescue intended for use by AGT planners, designers and decision makers. The report number of Volume II is UMTA-MA-06-0048-79-3.
