To comprehensively examine
the safety, reliability, and rationality of disaster prevention, evacuation,
and rescue design technology systems in China′s railway tunnels and to further improve national disaster rescue
performance, the authors compare China′s railway tunnel
disaster prevention and rescue design technology systems with those of other
countries. This comparison is based on extensive standards, focusing on design
concepts, technical systems, and technical specifications. The results indicate
the following: (1) The design concepts of disaster prevention, evacuation, and
rescue in China′s railway tunnels are scientific,
advanced, and largely consistent with international practices. China′s design technology system is comprehensive and aligns well with
international standards, reflecting a technical level comparable to that of
developed countries. Additionally, China′s technical
standards incorporate unique characteristics tailored to its current railway
operation framework, tunnel scale, and management model. (2) Verified by
extensive engineering applications, China′s established
design technology system is highly safe, reliable, and rational.
Recommendations to further improve the safety and emergency response
capabilities of China′s railway tunnel disaster
prevention and rescue design technology systems include optimizing the
evacuation design of emergency rescue stations within tunnels; refining the
design of disaster prevention, evacuation, and rescue projects; and enhancing
emergency response plans.
