Safety of road and highway tunnels is very important, because tunnels are very complicated constructions. The government of Slovak republic through the National Motorway Company is planning to build up to 30 road and highway tunnels in the following years. In our department we are dealing with this issue for several years. We calculate the risk analysis of road tunnels, we built Tunnel Traffic & Operation Simulator and currently we are working on adding of risk analysis model by risk analysis of transport of dangerous goods through road tunnels model (DG QRAM), which was developed under the joint OECD/PIARC.
