Abstract

This study is explores the problem of cars entry in to subway stations. Cars been driven in to subway stations in many countries including France, Russia, Belarus, Belgium, Italy, etc. Sometimes this results in fatalities or injuries and stoppage of work at the station. In this article, we have systematized statistics on cases of cars entry in to subway stations around the world and suggest a resolution for this problem. The proposed in the study of an anti-ram protective bollard capable of blocking cars driving into stations could serve as such a resolution. Then we develop an method that of determined the optimal location of anti-ram protective bollards. The authors tested the developed methodology on the example of the Prospect Mira station (Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line) of the Moscow subway. Equipping territories around subway stations with the developed an bollards will resolve the problem of protecting subway stations against cars entering their territories and will protect people.

Highlights

The authors explored the problem of cars entry in to the entrances of subway stations
The bus that drove into the entrance of subway station “Slavyansky Boulevard” in Moscow (Russian Federation, 2017) (Fig. 1, 2) caused five death, cars that drove into subway stations “Profsoyuznaya” in Moscow (Russian Federation, 2016) and Chaussee d'Antin La Fayette in Paris (France, 2007) caused the stoppage of work subway stations
The problem of protecting subway stations can be resolved by an anti-ram protective bollard (ARPB) which will ensure efficient protection against driving into subway stations of the following cars: 1. passenger cars including jeeps 2. off-road cars; 3. bus; 4. trucks; 5. motorbikes

Summary

Introduction

The authors explored the problem of cars entry in to the entrances of subway stations. Investigation showed that such accidents have taken place in different countries of the world including France, Russia, Belarus, Belgium, Italy, etc. The cars that drove into the subway stations “Auch” in Paris (France, 2004) and “Leo Tolstoy Square” in Kiev (Ukraine, 2004) caused wounded people. The statistics (Table 1) show that the problem of protecting subway stations against penetration by cars does exist. A cars that drives into a subway station can traumatize or kill people who are at that moment inside the station or can cause a fire at the station in consequence of the explosion of fuel in the car’s tank. The studies show that free access to subway stations poses a threat to terrorist attacks with use of cars [1-16]

Prevent of cars entry in the subway stations

Method of Location Anti-ram Protective Bollards at Subway Stations

Stage 1 - Choosing a location

Stage 2 - determination of the density of placement of ARPB
