Abstract Fire is one of the main threat for tunnel safety. Because of their long and narrow shape, fire in tunnels commonly induces fast temperature rising and smoke concentrations,with the consequent loss of life and negative economic impacts. How to control tunnel fires refers to several topics such as traffic monitoring and risk evaluation,fire recognition,emergency evacuation and system control,assisting fire extinction,and updating accident database. To improve the safety and fire emergency response capacity of the tunnel,this work was presented based on the latest metadata system,machine learning strategy,fast fire recognition method,and robot equipment. We discussed the key points for building intelligent fire emergency and evacuation system of highway tunnel, and focused on the composition and function of each sub-part of the system. The proposed ideas and routines can help the designer and engineers to design the corresponding intelligent system for specific tunnels,which will improve the safety of the structure and assure the normal working performance of the tunnels.
