19、. DIN EN 16276:2013-04 EN 16276:2013 (E) 4 Introduction The Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Parliament of 29 April 2004 aims at ensuring a minimum level of safety for road users in tunnels in the Trans-European Network by the prevention of critical events that may endanger human life. With rega
20、rd to lighting, there are two main cases: normal lighting and safety lighting. Normal lighting is provided to ensure appropriate visibility during the day and night for drivers in the entrance zone as well as in the interior zone. Safety lighting is divided into two parts: standby lighting and evacu
21、ation lighting. Standby lighting is provided to ensure a minimum visibility for tunnel users to evacuate the tunnel in their vehicles in the event of a breakdown of the power supply. Evacuation lighting is provided to guide tunnel users during evacuation of the tunnel on foot in emergency circumstan
22、ces such as fire. Evacuation lighting includes evacuation route marker lights, emergency exit lighting, emergency exit marker lights and evacuation route lighting. DIN EN 16276:2013-04 EN 16276:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies evacuation lighting in road tunnels longer than 500 m
23、and with an AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) higher than 500 vehicles to facilitate the safe evacuation of vehicle occupants in evacuation situations such as fire. It addresses the fundamental issues of evacuation lighting for evacuation routes, emergency exits and cross connections, as well as g
24、iving some practical advice regarding aspects of installation and maintenance in road tunnels. It is intended to be used in conjunction with CEN/CR 14380:2003 or relevant national standards for road tunnel lighting. The recommendations may be applied to tunnels up to 500 m in length, especially wher
25、e conditions such as high traffic volume, or severe curvature or gradient apply. It specifies lighting levels and general provisions for evacuation lighting installations that, based on experience, are considered to be necessary for the safety of people driving through road tunnels in case of an inc
26、ident and particularly in case of fire. However, as there are different types of road tunnels, both in construction and traffic conditions, various types of incident may occur. This standard should be considered as a list of minimum prescriptions for evacuation lighting in tunnels, to be completed b
27、y means of specific risk analysis for the particular tunnel. The design of marking and safety signs is not part of this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、 tunnel in their vehicles (standby lighting); to provide guidance and visibility for people leaving their vehicles and evacuating the tunnel as pedestrians. All the lighting systems described in this section shall be supplied from an uninterruptible power supply, in order to guarantee continuity of
39、lighting. In emergency circumstances, the duration of the evacuation mode shall be in accordance with national requirements. If a national standard does not exist, a duration of at least 30 min is to be realised, or otherwise in accordance with the results of a specific evacuation study. Inspection
40、and testing of tunnel evacuation lighting systems shall be made in accordance with EN 50172, unless existing national regulation states otherwise. 4.2 Driving task lighting 4.2.1 Carriageway For guidance on the appropriate carriageway lighting requirements to apply in the event of a breakdown of the
41、 normal power supply (standby lighting), reference should be made to CEN/CR 14380:2003, Clause 7 or to national recommendations or standards. DIN EN 16276:2013-04 EN 16276:2013 (E) 9 4.2.2 Vehicular cross connections In emergency circumstances, the values of average maintained horizontal illuminance
42、 and uniformity of illuminance on a vehicular cross connection shall be at least equal to the values on the carriageway in the interior zone of the main tunnel. 4.3 Pedestrian guidance 4.3.1 General When visibility is normal, the normal lighting or standby lighting of the main tunnel can be assumed
43、to be adequate for this purpose. It has been observed that vehicle occupants tend to stay in their vehicles and are reluctant to leave at an early stage of an emergency. Specific systems instructing them to leave their vehicles are strongly recommended. 4.3.2 Evacuation route within the main tunnel
44、In emergency circumstances, the main tunnel carriageway becomes a footway for fleeing pedestrians to the emergency exits. In any emergency, as a complement to the normal lighting or standby lighting, and in particular in situations where visibility is impaired, evacuation route marker lights are req
45、uested to provide tunnel users with guidance to facilitate their evacuation of the tunnel on foot towards the emergency exits. The evacuation route shall be clearly and unambiguously marked with evacuation route marker lights at a spacing not exceeding 25 m and not higher than 1,5 m above the carria
46、geway level. This shall be done at least on one side of the tunnel where the emergency exits are situated. Where there are three or more traffic lanes, consideration can be given to provide evacuation route marker lights on both sides of the tunnel, provided that clear direction is given towards eme
47、rgency exits. At all times, evacuation route marker lights along the evacuation route shall be operational, either to be illuminated in an emergency, or permanently illuminated. Where the markers are permanently illuminated, in order to limit disability glare to drivers, the intensity in the critica
48、l directions shall be limited. For that purpose, luminous intensities of each marker shall not exceed 40 cd during normal conditions, in a cone of 2 15 with the axis formed by the drivers observation direction (see Figure 4). During evacuation circumstances, the markers intensity can be increased. To enhance the visibility in smoke, the minimum maintained luminous intensity of each marker, in all directions from which it could be seen by a fleeing pedestrian, shall be determined by their spacing. The minimum m
