This book illustrates a new quantitative risk analysis model for road tunnels that is capable of evaluating the role of infrastructure measures, equipment and management procedures as prescribed by EU Directive 2004/54/EC. The risk assessment draws on the typical F-N curves of societal risk, evaluated with the help of event tree analysis, vehicle queue formation dynamics, and users’ egress and tenability models. In addition, the model considers the reliability of the safety measures. The work provides essential guidance on the following aspects: how a quantitative model can be implemented to evaluate risk in road tunnels; how to build an event tree for the accident scenarios considered; how to simulate the vehicle queue formation; how to simulate the evolution of accident scenarios; and how to simulate the users’ egress. Given its scope and depth of coverage, the book will be of interest to all engineers whose work involves fire protection and safety in tunnels, all persons engaged insafety and transport engineering or risk analysis for road tunnels, as well as public and private bodies involved in the application of Directive 2004/54/EC.

These metrics only require the bio-dimensional geo-referencing information from GPS or video-tracking systems to provide qualitative and quantitative information about the tactical behaviour of players and the inter-relationships between teammates and their opponents. Exercises, experimental cases and algorithms enable readers to fully comprehend how to compute these metrics, as well as introducing them to the ultimate performance analysis tool, which is the basis to run them on. The script to compute the metrics is presented in Python.

This book presents a novel perspective on immobility, a topic often overlooked in urban planning and transport studies. It argues that conceptualizing, measuring, and analyzing the diverse forms in which individual immobilities manifest can provide crucial insights for designing more inclusive and sustainable planning policies. Immobility is here framed as a relative condition, where individuals experience reduced movement across time and space compared to others. While mobility is often seen as essential for social inclusion, this book challenges the notion that immobility is inherently negative. Instead, it positions immobility as not only the result of specific personal or spatial constraints but also as a reversible, voluntary choice to reduce daily travel. This choice can be influenced by the level of accessibility and proximity to valued spatial opportunities and can yield significant socio-environmental benefits.
The book introduces an innovative framework that integrates immobility into urban planning theory and practice. Through case studies, it addresses four main operational challenges to foster a deeper understanding of immobility’s social and spatial implications: the measurement of immobility, the analysis of spatial conditions that facilitate chosen immobility, the exploration of the lived experiences of immobility, and the examination of planning policies that can promote reversible immobility to advance social inclusion and sustainability. By examining immobility in both its constrained and reversible forms, the book contributes to broader debates on how to achieve inclusion, sustainability, and accessibility through planning.
