Ingason, H., Kumm, M., Nilsson, D., Lönnermark, A., et al. (2012). The METRO Project. Final report. Forskningsrapport 2012:8 i serien Studies in Sustainable Technology vid Mälardalens högskola.
Abstract
This report compiles the results from the METRO project. The different parts of the project – design fires, evacuation, integrated fire control, smoke control, extraordinary strain on constructions and fire- and rescue operations – are presented separately.
The most complicated and expensive part of the project was the performance of the large scale fire and explosion tests in the Brunsberg tunnel, where the maximum heat release rates measured from the metro wagon was 77 MW.
The main results from the project are new recommendations regarding design fires in mass transport systems, identification of key factors for fire and smoke spread in tunnels and at stations as well as regarding the difficulties for disabled persons to evacuate from trains in tunnels, new recommended types of way guiding systems, safer design in case of explosions in trains and evaluation of the fire and rescue services’ possibilities and limitations in underground mass transport systems.
