5 Advantages of a Tunnel The underground solution allows: - Reduction of harmful effects during construction - Preservation of the forested land of the Parisian greenbelt (Landscape) - Avoidance of harmful effects in residential areas (Noise) - Limitation of harmful effects on historic monuments (Patrimony) - Mitigation of surface congestion (Traffic) - Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Air Quality)

10
10 East tunnel West tunnel An innovative design Clearance : 8.37 feet Maximum height of vehicles : 6.56 feet
11
11 Two tunnels in one - One-way traffic Independent Ventilation for each level Emergency alcoves and shelters every 656 feet Focus On Safety
12
12 Emergency access every half mile
13
13 Ventilation unit Supply of fresh air
14
14 Ventilation unit Air extraction
15
15 An innovative approach taking into account the driver’s perception : Realization of a real size 30-meter model Use of a dynamic driving simulator Creation of a multi-domain workgroup (psychologists, architects, lighting specialists…) A social sciences research program oriented the communications policy and project architecture: multiple domains (anthropology, psychiatry, political science, linguistics, etc.), including a survey of 3000 people. Focus on Driver Experience
16
16 Focus On The Environment Surface traffic lightened by 15% Architecture design and above-ground facility location blends into landscape Minimized above-ground facilities while maintaining safety Noise reduction
17
17 1% Landscaping Commitment Cofiroute has committed 1% of the project budget for landscaping projects Examples: - Pedestrian footpaths - Bicycle paths - Promenade along the Seine - Horse paths - Restoration of parks and estates Projects are located all along the route of the tunnels

18 Traffic Management Entrance control One-way traffic Automatic Incident Detection Variable message signs Customer Assistance Patrol FM radio override
19
19 Traffic and Revenues Value Pricing Policy : - Means of keeping the tunnels congestion-free - Supports financing of construction and operations Traffic 2010 : 70 000 veh / day Toll : - 5 € during peak hours - 3.5 € during normal hours - 2 € during the night - Subscriptions according to the number of trips per month 15% reduction in surface traffic expected
