This annex was prepared to provide ex. panded tinderstanding of the process required 10 conduct a hazard analysis for fixed guideway and passenger rail vehicles beyond that provided in Annex D of this standard. NFPA 101 [1) and other cited references provide more complete infor ‘mation, In particular, Annex A material related to Chapter 3 of NEPA 101 incluces extensive explanatory material related to performance-based hazarel analysis. E.2 Performance-Based Design. The prescriptive based ve. hile fie performance requirements in Chapter 8 ofthis stan- ‘ard are based on individual material tests. With the use of the fire hazard analysis process, it should be possible to ascertain the fire performance of vehicle materials and assemblies in the context of tual use, The result of such a hazard analysis should be a clear understanding of the role of materials, ge- ‘ometry, and other factors in the development of fire in the specific vehicles studied.

Thre information in this section is based on a research study sponsored by the FRA. Additional details of the research pro- grams are available [7] ‘The recently published ASTM E 2061 (8) provides resources, and references lor the application of fire hazard analysis tec niques to rail vehicles but is not intended to provide a spe- Cifie prescriptive standard or method. Part of the purpose of NFPA 130 is to provide such a specific method for the pplication of fire hazard analysis tools and the ASTM guide when applied to specific vehicle designs ‘Traditionally fire hazard analysis techniques involve a four- step process for the evalation of a produet oF products in a specific scenario: (2) Define the context. (2) Define the scenario, 3) Caleutate the hazard, (4) Evaluate the consequences [81 For the analysis of vehicles, this process limits the evalua tion to the contribution of specific materials and products ‘without providing an overall assessment of the fire perfor: mance of the entire system, ‘The traditional fourstep evaluation process can be ex tended to better reflect the minimum appropriate perfor mance of the overall vehicle system while maintaining the evaluation of a specific design compared against the required baseline. For this systemsbased analysis, the process is also. condlcted in Four steps! 130-5, (1) Define vehicle performance objectives and design. (2) Calculate vehicle fire performance. (3) Evaluate specific vehicle fire scenarios. (4) Evaluate vehicle car design suitability Steps I and 4 are langely subjective and depend on the expertise of the user. Step 2 can involve hand calculations or some use of computer modeling software, The heart of Step 2 isa sequence of procedures to calculate the development of hazardous conditions over time, to caleulate the time needed by occupants to escape under those conditions, and (0 est rate the resulting effects on the vehicle occupants, based on enability criteria, In addition to evaluating the hazard result- ing from specific materials and components used in the ve hicle design, Step 2 determines the worstcase fre that allows the ‘overall vehicle system to meet chosen design criteria. Step 3 evaluates the specific fires that are likely to oceur: Step 4 com> ppares the results of Steps 2 andl $ andl evaluates the appropriate- ess ofthe calculations performed, as wellas determines whether the proposed design meets the performance objectives and de- sign established in Step l. The procedure in Table F.3 shows each, step in the process tailored for ral vebicle design. E.3.1 Step I: Define Vehicle Performance Objectives and Design. Both the proposed performance objectives and the vehicle design must be defined, Clear goals and objectives With welldefined acceptance criteria quantify the tninimum acceptable performance that must be met in the final vehicle design, These will all be provided by the responsible fixed, guideway transit or passenger railroad system, by the author ties having jurisdiction, and by expert engineering judgment, based on the performance of the existing acceptable vehicle dlesigns and the operating environment. For example, an ob- jective might be to provide life safety for passengers in the event of a fire or t minimize damage to property. Perfor. ‘mance criteria are more specific and might include limits on temperature of materials, gas temperatures, smoke concentra ‘or ebscuration levels, concentration of toxic gases, oF ra heat flux levels, to allow for sufficient time to evacuate ‘occupants to a point of safety The analysis requites a detailed understanding of the ge- ometry (€.g,, configuration) of the system being considered, including construction materials, sizes, and connections for all compartments, typical Furnishings, and other design pa rameters that might aflect the fire. Such parameters might inelude fire detection or suppression systems, ventilation sj tems, ancl emergency exits and procedures. E.3.2 Step 2: Caleulate Vehicle Fire Performance. The second, step determines the response of the vehicle system to a range ‘of chosen design fires, This response can be expressed in the form of one or more fire performance graph(s), which present the calculated design criterion asa function of the size fof the fire, In addition, the minimum acceptable performance criteria are determined by caleulation or specification. For ex ample, a fire performance graph might show the available ‘egress time as function of the fire size in a vehicle, and the minimum acceptable performance criteria might be the time necessary for passengers to safely evacuate the vehicle. These criteria can be specilied by the fixed guideway transit oF pas. senger railroad system, by authorities having jurisdiction, oF by expert engineering judgment based on the performance of the existing acceptable designs. 2000 Eaton Copyrighted material licensed to SYSTRA, for licensee's use ony ‘Single user license only, copying pro!

The time at which conditions within the vehicle become untenable for each design fire are plotted asa function of the size of the design fire to produce a fire performance graph for each application, ‘The calculation of minimum necessary egress time, whether from a building oF a vehicle, involves many assump tions. Several models can be used to increase the confidence in the egress time calculation. It is important to. remember hat the minimum necessary egress time does not include panic, scattered nggage in a posterash vehicle, or bodily in- jury t occupants prior to evacuation commencement. An ap- propriate design margin applied to the model time should account for such Tinitations. Typically, factor of 2 is used as a design margin [9] £.3.3 Step 3: Evaluate Specific Vehicle Fire Scenarios. Step 3 exaluates possible vehicle fire scenarios in order to place the fire performance curves in context and to allow the designer toadopt reasonable design margins in the final vehicle design ‘evaluation in Step 4. Asignificant amount of information rel- ‘evant to scenario definition can be obtained from historical fire incident experience (e.g.. see references 10 and 11 in ad), Databases such as the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) contain relevant vehicle data, normally segre= gated into specific categories (11) Representative fire scenarios include the following: (2) Ignition under a seat by a small source (crumpled news: paper) (2) Ignition source on top of a vandalized seat (crumpled newspaper) (8) Overheated equipment (electrical, HVAC) ‘The location of the train must be also considered in the analysis. For example, the fire risk to occupants is greater if the train is located between stations or within a tunnel Relevant data describing specific fies appropriate for the ‘chicle application are defined and sed as input to the same re model used in Step 2. The results of these model caleula- tions can be compared to the design fires used in Step 2 10, define appropriate design margins for analysis. E.3.4 Evaluate Suitability of Vehicle Design. Taking into ac- ‘count the results of the caleulations and using engineering. judgment, experience, and the requirements of dhe author ties having jurisdiction, an appropriate design margin is de- iced upon and applied to the minimum acceptable criteria If the worst-case vehicle fire scenarios are all less hazardous ‘han the minimum criteria muliplied by the design margin, ‘then the vehicle design i said to be acceptable. Finally, the results of any analysis should be challenged by the user's common sense and experience. Results that violate these should be questioned and resolved, Comparisons shonld be made to data from similar experiments or actual passenger train fires wherever possible. Ifsuch data are not smailable, it might be advisable to conduct verifying tests in Smations where public safety at risk ‘The outcome of the fite hazard analysis will bea statement of whether the vehicle design under consideration constiuces a threat above acceptable limits. Further analysis can ascertain ‘whether compartmentation, detection and suppression sys- tems, and other intervention strategies can further minimize the fire hazard.
