Statistical Study and Cause Analysis on Car Fires

Abstract:

Based on statistical data of domestic and foreign fire accidents of passenger cars, positions of fire sources and igniting causes of car fires were studied. Fires causes were classified to five types in which electrical failures and mechanical failures were considered as the most common issues leading to fire. According to the cause analysis, relevant countermeasures were proposed to prevent and control fire of cars, which can be referenced for safe design by vehicle factories.
