In the event of a fire in an underground transport station, smoke gas flows are mostly cleared to ground level through the entrances and exits. This not only pollutes the escape and rescue routes inside the station with smoke gases but also the assembly places above ground, surrounding buildings and potential working areas for the emergency services. In the Orpheus research project, possibilities have been investigated of minimising the pollution above ground through the layout of the exits and an intentional control of the smoke gases.
