Abstract:

Recent trends in the design and construction of rail rapid transit (RRT) and light rail transit (LRT) vehicles have resulted in the increased use of non-metallic materials such as plastics and elastomers for transit vehicle components. In many instances, these materials or more flammable than the materials they replace, thereby increasing the fire threat in the transit vehicle. This document presents the rationale for Recommended Fire Safety Practices for Rail Transit Materials Selection.
