Abstract: The aim of this report is to present conclusions about factors of great importance for the evacuation efficiency from underground spaces such as road or train tunnels. Quantified information about the duration of different stages in the evacuation process is presented as well as conclusions about means to fasten the evacuation process. Of special interest from a risk management perspective is the role of the control room which therefore is analysed separately.
