Research on the Running Capability of Rolling Stock Under Fire

Abstract

The global rail transit is developing faster and faster. Trains can adapt to various operating environments and have faster speed and more diverse functions. How to ensure the safety of passengers' lives and properties has attracted more and more attention. Researching the running capability of rolling stock under fire has became the important and significant topic. This thesis presents research consisting of experiments and analysis of running capability in case of fire on board in a Metro train. The aim of this research is to use experiments and analysis, particularly materials fire experiment and structure fire resistance experiment, to increase understanding of running capability in Metro train.
