Abstract:

The objective of this study was to address National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendation R-16-02, “Issue regulatory safety standards for emergency egress in tunnel environments.” All relevant standards and specifications related to emergency egress, including egress from rail transit vehicles, were included in the literature search. After completion of literature review, relevant elements were documented, and gaps identified to be incorporated into a voluntary standard.
