1 Tunnel Safety & Security 5 th International Symposium March 2012, New York, USA 1

2 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 and security issues related to tunnels. In response to overwhelming interest, the scope of the Symposium was 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 since then attracting more than 250 delegates each meeting. At SP, we are proud to have established this prestigious event in collaboration with our event partners. 5 th ISTSS in New York, USA Tunnels are an increasingly important part of the infrastructure network. They create challenges for incident prevention and management, fire protection and security against attacks or sabotage. This Symposium offers an excellent opportunity for experts working with transport, infrastructure security systems, manufacturers and technical organisations to exchange their experience in an international forum. Symposium venue: The Roosevelt Hotel, 45 East 45th. at Madison Avenue, NEW YORK, NY 10017, USA SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden develops and disseminates technology to assist the development and competitiveness of industry, to improve safety in society, to support sustainable development and to help protect the environment. 2

3 Keynote Speakers Tunnel safety and security is a challenge for both private and public sectors. ISTSS provides a forum over 3 days to discuss current practice and 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 within the following themes: risk & security, human behaviour, passive fire protection & construction, active fire 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. We are proud to present our Keynote Speakers below. Marieke Martens,TNO Marieke Martens is a traffic psychologist, who has been working in the area of Human Factors and tunnel design for 15 years. She is senior research scientist at TNO in the Netherlands, with a research position since Since 2009 she is also an Associate Professor at the Centre for Transport Studies at the University of Twente. Her main research field is to design tunnels for human use. This includes designing tunnels for optimal driving behaviour in normal conditions, but also to design for emergency evacuation and incidents. Optimal design in the tunnel operator centre and training the operators and emergency rescue teams is also of great importance. Marieke has worked in national and international projects dealing with tunnel design, driving behaviour and accidents and incidents. She was involved in the European SAFESTAR project, dealing with tunnel design and exits and entries in tunnels, and she was work package leader of the Human Factors work package of the European UP- TUN project, dealing with tunnel users, tunnel operators and rescue teams. She is also a member of the PIARC WG3, concerned with human behaviour and calamities in tunnels, that is about to finish its third term. Martin Brown, Transport for London Martin had a lengthy career with HSE (the UK Safety Regulator) including practical experience of the safety and security issues of the London Underground and the Channel Tunnel, and a wide range of manufacturing industry (including defence and electronics) and the construction sector. He moved to Tube Lines as Director Health, Safety and Environment, which included involvement in the service restoration and clear up following the 7/7 Kings Cross bombings. He is currently Director HSE for London Rail, part of Transport for London, where his responsibilities include staff and system security issues, including preparations for the London 2012 Olympics. 3 Peter Johnson, Arup Peter Johnson is a Principal and Fellow of the global consulting firm of Arup. He is also a Fellow of Engineers Australia and the Society of Fire protection Engineers and Life Member and Board Advisor of the Fire Protection Association, Australia. He is a member of the Standards Australia committee on tunnels. Peter has worked in the fire safety field for over 35 years, and has been involved in a wide range of building and infrastructure projects internationally. This has included design involvement in a significant number of road and rail tunnel projects, including the Fehmarnbelt tunnel proposed between Denmark and Germany, Airport Link tunnel in Brisbane, and Cross City tunnel in Sydney. Peter has a special interest in fire scenario development as the driver of fire engineering design and risk analysis. William H Bill Arrington, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Bill was sworn in as a Maryland State Trooper in September, 1974 and enjoyed a long and remarkable career before retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In October, 2002, Bill answered the call to serve when the Transportation Security Administration was created under the United States Department of Transportation shortly after the 9/11 attack. With a primary focus on aviation security, Bill served as one of the first Area Directors in Aviation Operations with the responsibility for overseeing security at all commercial airports in the eastern half of the United States. At the present time Bill is the General Manager for the Office of Highway and Motor Carrier Security under TSA s Transportation Sector Network Management Directory. He has primary responsibility for commercial motor vehicle security which includes; trucks and motor coaches, school bus security and critical infrastructure (bridges and tunnels) security for our nation s transportation systems which consist of more than four million miles of highway. Bill s experience and expertise are reflective of his ability to lead and direct in the Nation s critical transportation security arena.
