Safe Evacuation from Subway Station under Platform Train Fire

Abstract:

The environmental deterioration of the subway station and the safety of the personnel evacuation under platform train fire are researched. The critical fire danger condition is proposed and the time calculation method of evacuation is determined. A platform train fire in a subway station is simulated by the Fire Dynamics Simulator software. Then the available egress time can be got by analyzing the fire temperature and smoke concentration change with time. At the same time, the required egress time is studied through theoretical analysis and computer simulation by software Building Exodus. The results showed that smoke exhaust rate is very important to the smoke control under platform train fire. And the stair evacuation ability is the key to the whole evacuation.
