Abstract:

Fire safety countermeasures applicable to transit vehicles are identified and evaluated. This document contains fault trees which illustrate the sequences of events which may lead to a transit-fire related casualty. A description of the basis for their development and an explanation of their intended use are included as well as information on basic fault tree construction and symbol terminology. All factors, including human events and environmental and materials qualities, may be presented in a systematic manner by using a fault tree. Each event, or sequence of events, can then be examined to identify appropriate countermeasures and to evaluate the effect of potential countermeasures in minimizing or eliminating a fire threat. The diagrams can also be used as: An educational tool to explain fire propagation and occupant evacuation; an aid in developing vehicle procurement specifications; an aid for the vehicle designers; an aid in developing preventive maintenance and repairs; and an aid in developing emergency response and evacuation procedures.
