The performance of water spray system installed to reduce risks of tunnel fire is investigated by a real tunnel fire test. In case of A class fire, Pool fire, and car fire, the nozzle of water spray has had a marvelous effect to reduce the temperature of hot smoke. And it is verified to have remarkable cooling effects when there is the air flow in a tunnel. Though this results, water spray system will be able to prevent a fire jump to decrease the air temperature in a tunnel and to protect tunnel facilities by the fire control.

현재 사용되는 대부분의 소방차량은 일반 원심펌프로 보편화된 방수 소화작전이 가능하나 오늘날 첨단화 되어 가는 구조물과 다양한 시설구조의 인프라에 따른 적응에는 한계가 있으며 이러한 현재의 다양한 화재 형태와 양상에 능동적으로 대처하며 효율적인 소방활동을 위하여 전천후 출동과 소규모 인력으로 효과적인 소화활동을 할 수 있도록 차량의 구조 개선과 새로운 유 무선포방수총시스템의 도입과 흠로 및 빙판길 혹은 협소한 출동로도 원활하게 효과적으로 대처할 수 있도록 괘도바퀴와 높은 흡상 및 미분무수 소화시스템을 장착한 미래형 소방차량을 연구 개발하고자 한다.

In cars, the amount of combustibles, such as plastics, textiles, etc., have increased dramatically to improve the fuel efficiency of cars by reducing the gross vehicle weight according to the increases in an oil price and to reduce environmental problems. One or two cars were involved in a parking lot fire prior to the mid-2000 s. On the other hand, there were many parking lot fires where the entire car was destroyed due to increasing the use of plastics. In this study, the quantity of combustibles in a car was 316.2 kg over a total weight 1935 kg. This is 16.34% of total weight and 10 times greater than that three decades earlier. When a sprinkler is installed as a parking lot fire protection system as a substitute for water spray, the water discharge of the sprinkler must maintain the original density of water spray, $20lpm/m^2$. In addition, the use of a hose reel $CO_2$ system at pilotis parking lots must be prohibited because the hose reel $CO_2$ system has no adaptability for a car fire. Instead, this study proposes foam, dry powder, loaded stream systems be used in parking lot fire suppression systems.

This study examined a fire accident caused by a defect in the vehicle ABS module. A large number of vehicles using the same manufacturer's ABS module in recent fire events showed a tendency to combust due to the same faults. As previously stated in the ABS module which shows the electrical breakdown between the power lines supplied to the constant power source by the battery. The electrical breakdown of the ABS module was caused by defects of the ABS module itself that were influenced by of the external flame. These results highlight the need to determine if there is a deficiency of the ABS module in the investigation of the cause of a fire in a vehicle which is produced by the same manufacturer.

Korean railroad company is continuously improving the service for the disabled. They also install and reform many facilities for them. However, It is not considered the importance of egress when fire occurred in a cabin Now, Fire hazard analysis and risk assessment are introduced into domestic regulations for improving fire safety performance of train car and railroad facilities. Considering the fact that fire safety evaluation process doesn't fully include disabled person, fundamental egress data for them is very important for life safety aspect. In this paper, Egress experiments and analysis were conducted to measure the movement speed of the disabled with Mugunghwa and Saemaul.

As a result of the recent revision of the 'Guideline for Installation and Management of Fire Prevention Facility in Road Tunnels', the thermal buoyancy has to be taken into account when calculating the capacity of jet fans for smoke control in tunnel fires. However, there is no detailed methodologies for considering thermal buoyancy, so further study is needed. In this study, the thermal buoyancy in the tunnel is calculated by 3-D numerical simulation to consider the thermal buoyancy in case of fire in tunnels, and the relationship between heat buoyancy and vehicle drag, And the method of calculating the capacity of the jet fan for smoke control in tunnels. According to the analysis results, heat buoyancy acts as a resistance force in the case of a down-slope tunnel, and the pressure rise of jet fan for smoke control is not simply determined by the value of heat buoyancy at the entrance of the tunnel and the value of the vehicle drag at the exit. And it is analyzed that it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive review according to the location of the fire vehicle in tunnels.

본 연구에서는 최근 도심지 대심도 지하도로 및 침매터널등에서 중요성이 부각되고 있는 터널내 화재안전 설계를 위한 영상유고감지시스템의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 영상유고감지시스템(VIDS)의 성능 평가를 위하여 터널 내부에서 발생할 수 있는 유고상황을 5가지로 구분하여 보행자, 낙하물, 정지차량, 역주행, 연기발생등의 상황을 인위적으로 발생시켰으며 이에 따른 감지 능력을 평가하였다. 실험결과 2, 3회 걸친 지속적인 교정과 세부조정을 거친 후에는 보행자 98.3%, 낙하물 96.7%, 정지차량 100%, 역주행 100%, 연기감지 100%의 감지율을 나타내었으며 카메라의 설치거리 100m 이내에서 비교적 높은 감지율을 나타내었다. 영상유고감지기의 적용 신뢰도는 터널내 조도, 카메라의 설치 위치에 따른 영상 변화등에 의존적이었으나 대심도 터널등의 신속한 화재감지를 위한 대안으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
