Abstract

Recently, along with the continuous increase in the supply of electric vehicles, electric vehicle fire accidents are also showing a rapidly increasing trend. Electric vehicle fires last for a long time compared to fires in internal combustion engine vehicles and have problems with the risk of secondary explosions and the generation of large amounts of smoke. In particular, electric vehicle fires in underground roads, which are semi-enclosed spaces, may amplify the problems of existing electric vehicle fires. On the other hand, there are no domestic response guidelines for electric vehicle fires occurring inside underground roads. Therefore, an awareness of fire accidents was confirmed through a survey of the general public, and electric vehicle fire characteristics and primary considerations were derived from stakeholders related to electric vehicle fires in underpasses. Through this, the guidelines for responding to electric vehicle fires on underground roads were established.

최근 전기차의 지속적인 보급 증가와 함께 전기차 화재사고 역시 급증하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 전기차 화재는 내연기관 차량의 화재에 비해 장기간 지속되며, 2차적인 폭발의 위험 및 다량의 연기를 발생시키는 문제들을 지니고 있는 사고이다. 특히, 반밀폐 공간인 지하도로 내에서의 전기차 화재는 기존 전기차 화재의 문제를 증폭시킬 우려가 있다. 하지만 현재 국내에는 지하도로 내부에서 발생하는 전기차 화재에 대한 관련 대응지침이 부재하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일반인 대상 설문조사를 통해 화재사고에 대한 인지 수준을 확인하였으며, 지하도로 내 전기차 화재와 관련된 이해관계자들로부터 전기차 화재 특성 및 주요 고려 사항을 도출하였다. 이를 통해 지하도로 내 전기차 화재 대응지침을 구축하였다.
