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 Guidebook is Volume II of the Final Report on Evacuation and Rescue in Automated Guideway Transit and provides guidelines and other information relative to evacuation and rescue of passengers from AGT systems. Included are: Description of the evacuation and rescue problems and solutions as they exist on conventional and AGT systems; Discussion of the types of planning that are required to produce satisfactory evacuation and rescue solutions; and, Recommendations of suitable methods and procedures for ACT evacuation and rescue. Volume I of the Final Report describes the methodology used in developing the guidelines. The report number of Volume I is UMTA-HA-06-0048-79-2.
