RAILONE Safety System ROSS - Accessibility Solution for Rescue Vehicles in Tunnels


For sections of track that are difficult to access, such as tunnels, we have developed an ideal trafficability solution that allows rescue vehicles to reach the scene of an accident more quickly. The system consists of precast concrete slabs that allow the guideway to be closed off with a level surface at the level of the top of the rail. The precast track elements are designed in such an unique way that one element each fills the free space between the two rails and between the rail and the edge track. Positional stability is ensured without additional fixation solely by their own weight and the aerodynamic design of the underside. Since the track system is not laid directly on the carriageway, it is precisely fitted on site at the required height by means of cement mortar cusps. This makes the RAILONE rescue route system suitable for all types of roadway systems.



Properties:

  • Suitable for evacuation concepts with local rescue forces such as fire department etc. with road-bound safety equipment.
  • Designed for new tunnels in High Speed Operation as well as for refurbishment of existing tunnels with conventional mixed rail operation
  • No influence on (existing) tunnel drainage system
  • No integration into tunnel grounding concept required
