Invitation ISTSS 2014

Tunnel Safety & Security6 th International Symposium12-14 th March 2014 Marseille, France

ISTSS BEGAN IN SWEDEN IN 2003 as the International Symposium on Catastrophic Tunnel Fires.Interest for the first Symposium clearly identified the need for a conference dealing with safety andsecurity issues related to tunnels. In response to overwhelming interest, the scope of the Symposiumwas broadened and the event was renamed the International Symposium of Tunnel Safety and Security(ISTSS). The 1st ISTSS was held in Washington, DC, in 2004 and has continued biennially sincethen attracting more than 250 delegates each meeting. At SP, we are proud to have established thisprestigious event in collaboration with our event partners.6 th ISTSS in Marseille, FranceTunnels are an increasingly important part of the infrastructurenetwork. They create challenges for incident prevention andmanagement, fire protection and security against attacks orsabotage. This Symposium offers an excellent opportunity for expertsworking with transport, infrastructure security systems, manufacturersand technical organisations to exchange their experience in aninternational forum.The 6th ISTSS Symposium will be held at:World Trade Center Marseille Provence2 Rue Henri Barbusse1300 MarseilleFranceTel. +33 (0)4 13 94 04 13wtcmp.comWe hope to see you there!www.istss.se

Keynote speakersTunnel safety and security is a challenge for both private and public sectors. ISTSS provides a forum over 3 days to discuss currentpractice and emerging trends and research in the field of tunnel safety and security. We have created a program with leading expertsfrom a variety of fields within the following themes: risk & security, human behaviour, passive fire protection & construction, activefire protection & fire fighting, ventilation and fire dynamics. Each day is opened by two invited Keynote Speakers, leaders in their field,providing an overview of their topic of expertise as an introduction to the themes of the day.Magnus ArvidsonSP Technical Research Institute of SwedenMagnus Arvidson is a Fire Protection Engineer graduatingfrom the University of Lund in Sweden in 1989.He has been working at the Department of Fire Technologyat SP Technical Research Institute of Swedensince 1991, mainly responsible for activities related towater mist and sprinkler system testing and research.He served as a member in the NFPA 750 technicalcommittee on installation of water mist fire protectionsystems from 1993 to 2000, has been active in theSub Committee on Fire Protection at the InternationalMaritime Organization, and has been involved in atechnical committee at CEN developing a standard forwater mist systems. He is a member of the scientificcouncil of the International Water Mist Association.Kees BothPromat International NV, BelgiumDr. ir. Kees Both has a background in civil engineering.Both his Masters and PhD theses where taken fromDelft University on fire safety of steel-concretestructures. During the almost 25 years of Kees’ careerin the fieldof fire safety, he has worked on several internationalprojects, with a focus on tunnel safety, numericalanalyses and large scale fire testing. A.o. Kees wasthe project leader for the European Commission withrespect to the UPTUN tunnel safety study from 2002-2007. To date, responsible for system R&D at Promat,Kees is an active member of several Dutch, Belgiumand international organisations and standardisationcommittees, including ITA, NFPA, IFE, and the SFPE.Peter SturmGraz University of Technology, AustriaPeter J. Sturm is professor at Graz University ofTechnology, Austria and holds a PhD in mechanicalengineering. The current position is head of the section“traffic and environment” at the Institute for InternalCombustion Engines and Thermodynamics. In additionhe is CEO of an independent consulting service whichdeals with all types of ventilation technologies and firelife safety. The focus of the research work is in the fieldof traffic and urban air quality. A further major activityis in the field of tunnel ventilation and safety, with afocus on road tunnels.www.istss.se

Dr. Jaap Weerheijm, Msc.TNO Defence, Security and Safety organisationHe is a senior research scientist at the TNO Defence, Securityand Safety organisation. He joined the TNO in 1981, afterhe finished his study of Civil Engineering at the Delft Universityof Technology. His expertise is on explosion effects,structural protection and material response under extremedynamic loading. In 1992 he got his PhD from the DelftUniversity for his work on the properties of concrete underdynamic loading.Since 2003 he also works part time at the Delft Universityand is responsible for the research field of Impact Dynamicsof Structures and Materials. He is chairman of the technicalworking programme of the international KLOTZ group ofexperts on explosion safety and member of various technicaland scientific committees. Special fields of interest are theprotection of built infrastructure and tunnel safety.Daniel NilssonReader, PhD, FSEDaniel Nilsson (Reader, PhD, FSE) is Senior Lecturer at theDepartment of Fire Safety Engineering and Systems Safety(www.brand.lth.se) at Lund University, Sweden. His areaof expertise is Human Behaviour in Fire, and his research ismainly focused on the interaction between people and evacuationsystems, e.g., way-finding systems and fire alarms.Recent studies have involved evaluation of both visual andauditory way-finding systems in smoke filled tunnels, aswell as studies on the design of fire alarms and way-findingsystems in high-rise buildings, within the projects METRO(www.metroproject.se) and KESØ (www.kesoproject.se).
