Vulnerabilità e accessibilità delle tratte ferroviarie a cielo aperto per i soccorsi in emergenza - Vulnerability and accessibility of open rail routes for emergency rescue

This paper examines the vulnerability and accessibility of railway networks in emergency conditions using the road system with particular reference to open air routes. The goal is to implement a Decision Support Tool – DST useful to evaluate the accessibility of the railway arcs that make up a rail network. The tool is used in a pre-event and a post-event phase: in the first, interventions improving accessibility can be planned and scheduled, while the second concerns joint management of emergency which requires the arrival of rescue teams as soon as possible.
