<strong>Tunnel</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> & <strong>Security</strong><br />
5 th International Symposium<br />
14-16 March 2012 New York, USA<br />
1
ISTSS began in Sweden in 2003 as the International Symposium on Catastrophic<br />
<strong>Tunnel</strong> Fires. Interest for the first Symposium clearly identified the<br />
need for a conference dealing with safety and security issues related to<br />
tunnels. In response to overwhelming interest, the scope of the Symposium<br />
was broadened and the event was renamed the International Symposium of<br />
<strong>Tunnel</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> and <strong>Security</strong> (ISTSS). The 1st ISTSS was held in Washington, DC,<br />
in 2004 and has continued biennially since then attracting more than 250 delegates<br />
each meeting. At SP, we are proud to have established this prestigious<br />
event in collaboration with our event partners.<br />
5 th ISTSS in New York, USA<br />
<strong>Tunnel</strong>s are an increasingly important part of the infrastructure<br />
network. They create challenges for incident prevention<br />
and management, fire protection and security against attacks<br />
or sabotage. This Symposium offers an excellent opportunity<br />
for experts working with transport, infrastructure security systems,<br />
manufacturers and technical organisations to exchange<br />
their experience in an international forum.<br />
The symposium will be held at:<br />
The Roosevelt Hotel, 45 East 45th. at Madison Avenue,<br />
NEW YORK, NY 10017, USA<br />
SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden develops and disseminates technology to assist the development<br />
and competitiveness of industry, to improve safety in society, to support sustainable development<br />
and to help protect the environment.<br />

Keynote speakers<br />
<strong>Tunnel</strong> safety and security is a challenge for both private and public sectors. ISTSS provides a forum over 3 days to discuss current practice and<br />
emerging trends and research in the field of tunnel safety and security. We have created a program with leading experts from a variety of fields<br />
within the following themes: risk & security, human behaviour, passive fire protection & construction, active fire protection & fire fighting,<br />
ventilation and fire dynamics. Each day is opened by two invited Keynote Speakers, leaders in their field, providing an overview of their topic of<br />
expertise as an introduction to the themes of the day. We are proud to present our Keynote Speakers below.<br />
Marieke<br />
Martens,TNO<br />
Marieke Martens is<br />
a traffic psychologist,<br />
who has been<br />
working in the area<br />
of Human Factors<br />
and tunnel design for<br />
15 years. She is senior<br />
research scientist at<br />
TNO in the Netherlands,<br />
with a research<br />
position since 1996.<br />
Since 2009 she is also an Associate Professor<br />
at the Centre for Transport Studies at the<br />
University of Twente. Her main research<br />
field is to design tunnels for human use.<br />
This includes designing tunnels for optimal<br />
driving behaviour in normal conditions, but<br />
also to design for emergency evacuation<br />
and incidents. Optimal design in the tunnel<br />
operator centre and training the operators<br />
and emergency rescue teams is also of great<br />
importance. Marieke has worked in national<br />
and international projects dealing with tunnel<br />
design, driving behaviour and accidents<br />
and incidents. She was involved in the European<br />
SAFESTAR project, dealing with tunnel<br />
design and exits and entries in tunnels, and<br />
she was work package leader of the Human<br />
Factors work package of the European UP-<br />
TUN project, dealing with tunnel users, tunnel<br />
operators and rescue teams. She is also a<br />
member of the PIARC WG3, concerned with<br />
human behaviour and calamities in tunnels,<br />
that is about to finish its third term.<br />
Martin Brown,<br />

safety and security<br />
issues of the London<br />
Underground<br />
and the Channel <strong>Tunnel</strong>, and a wide range<br />
of manufacturing industry (including defence<br />
and electronics) and the construction<br />
sector. He moved to Tube Lines as Director<br />
Health, <strong>Safety</strong> and Environment, which included<br />
involvement in the service restoration<br />
and clear up following the 7/7 Kings Cross<br />
bombings. He is currently Director HSE for<br />
London Rail, part of Transport for London,<br />
where his responsibilities include staff and<br />
system security issues, including preparations<br />
for the London 2012 Olympics.<br />
Peter Johnson,<br />

of Fire protection<br />
Engineers<br />
and Life Member and Board Advisor of the<br />
Fire Protection Association, Australia. He is a<br />
member of the Standards Australia committee<br />
on tunnels. Peter has worked in the fire safety<br />
field for over 35 years, and has been involved<br />
in a wide range of building and infrastructure<br />
projects internationally. This has included<br />
design involvement in a significant number<br />
of road and rail tunnel projects, including<br />
the Fehmarnbelt tunnel proposed between<br />
Denmark and Germany, Airport Link tunnel<br />
in Brisbane, and Cross City tunnel in Sydney.<br />
Peter has a special interest in fire scenario<br />
development as the driver of fire engineering<br />
design and risk analysis.<br />
William H “Bill”<br />
Arrington, U.S.<br />
Department of<br />
Homeland <strong>Security</strong><br />
Bill was sworn in as<br />
a Maryland State<br />
Trooper in September,<br />
1974 and<br />
enjoyed a long and<br />
remarkable career<br />
before retiring at<br />
the rank of Lieutenant<br />
Colonel. In<br />
October, 2002, Bill answered the call to serve<br />
when the Transportation <strong>Security</strong> Administration<br />
was created under the United States<br />
Department of Transportation shortly after<br />
the 9/11 attack. With a primary focus on<br />

The Society of Fire Protection Engineers was established in 1950 and incorporated as in independent<br />
organization in 1971. It is the professional society representing those practicing the field of fire protection<br />
engineering. The Society has approximately 4500 members in the United States and abroad, and 57<br />
regional chapters. The purpose of the Society is to advance the science and practice of fire protection<br />
engineering and its allied fields, to maintain a high ethical standard among its members and to foster<br />
fire protection engineering education.<br />
IAFSS was founded with the primary objective of encouraging research into the science of preventing<br />
and mitigating the adverse effects of fires and of providing a forum for presenting the results of such<br />
research. The International Association for Fire <strong>Safety</strong> Science perceives its role to lie in the scientific<br />
bases for achieving progress in unsolved fire problems. It will seek cooperation with other organizations,<br />
be they concerned with application or with the sciences that are fundamental to our interests in fire. It<br />
will seek to promote high standards, to encourage and stimulate scientists to address fire problems, to<br />
provide the necessary scientific foundations and means to facilitate applications aimed at reducing life<br />
and property loss.<br />
