Taking　the　JINSHANZHAI　highway　tunnel　in　Xiamen　as　an　example,　people　safety　evacuation　in　urban　highway　tunnel　fire　accidents　was　conducted　in　this　paper.　According　to　the　most　unfavorable　fire　scenario　for　safety　evacuation,　the　AEST　can　be　obtained　through　fire　Spread　and　smoke　diffusion　simulation.　Then　the　REST　of　different　staff　loads　were　calculated　using　empirical　formula.　Through　comparing　of　AEST　and　REST,　whether　evacuation　passage　setting　can　meet　the　evacuation　requirements　or　not　was　confirmed,　and　then　solutions　were　proposed.　©　2011　IEEE.
