Section Tunnel Engineering and Tunnel OperationFederal Highway Research Institute of Germany
Göteborg, Lindholmen Science Park,Thursday 30th March 2006
Scope: Tunnel of the trans-European road network, (in operation, under construction, design),
lengths over 500 m
Stock: 14 tunnels with approx. 33 km of tube length
(stand: 2004)
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this
Directive by 30 April 2006.

• Explanatory memorandum
• Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council
• Annex I: Measures
• Annex II: Approval of the design, safety documentation, commissioning a tunnel, modifications and periodic exercises
• Annex III: Road signing for tunnels
Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on minimum requirements for
tunnels in the trans-European road network

• From the European Directive no subjective rights can be derived. The implementation can therefore be carried out in the context of the existing legal norms (RABT, StVO, VwV-StVO) without parliament participation.
• Customization/addition passes at the legal norms StVO, VwV-StVO with regard to appendix III, : Tunnel sign E 11A, sign for lay-bys E 17A or E 17B. These signs have to be taken into the StVO, VwV-StVO.

• Adaption of the RABT with regard to risk analysis method,
• Adaption of the RABT with regard to the organs of the European-Directive,
• Adaption/customization of the RABT with regard to structural and operational measures,
• Adaption of the RABT with regard to the appendix II of the European-Directive (approval of the designs, safety documentation, commissioning of a tunnel, modifications and periodic exercises),
• Adaption of the RABT/StVO/VwV-StVO with regard to traffic legal regulations concerning traffic engineering,
• Supplementary regulations (ARS). The putting into action for all federal road tunnels with lengths over 400 m

• Special characteristic of tunnels with length > 400 m (RABT, No. 0.5)
• Alternative of risk reduction measures in case of disproportionate cost(RABT, No. 0.5)
• Determination of the fire performance in case of a high percentage of heavy goods traffic(RABT, No. 4.3.2)
• Dimensioning of the ventilation system in bidirectional tunnels with a length from 600 m to 1200 m(RABT, No. 4.3.3)
• Specification or change of regulations and requirements for the transport of dangerous goods through road tunnels(RABT, No. 9)

Alternative of risk reduction measures in case of disproportionate cost(No. 0.5, RABT 2006)
Where structural requirements can only be satisfied through technical solutions which either cannot be achieved or can be achieved only at disproportionate cost, the administrative authority may accept the implementation of risk reduction measures as an alternative to application of those requirements, provided that the alternative measures will result in equivalent or improved protection. The efficiency of these measures shall be demonstrated through a risk analysis.

• Risk analysis are carried out by an institution which is function-relatedly independent of the tunnel manager.
• The member states take care that a methodology which is precise, defined and exactly corresponding to an optimal practice is used uniformly at a national level.
• Member states shall inform the Commission of the methodology applied.
• In Germany a standardised methodology for a probabilistic risk assessment is currently worked out.
• The methodology comprehends four types of scenarios: Break-downs, collisions, fires and accidents involving dangerous goods.
