Case Study: Integration on Existing Vehicles
Background of EVAG-Project:
A lot of stations, which are 30 to 40 years old and the
measures they have to realise are related to extreme
efforts and costs
The FOGTEC idea: reduce the given scenario by
active measurements on board, in this case with a
fire detection and fire suppression system.
The operator, the fire safety consultant and the
approval body accepted this solution, but they gave
?
an approval plan to FOGTEC.

Case Study: Integration on Existing Vehicles
Step 1: smoke tests on board of the different running trains to
develop a fire detection concept on the base of the ARGE –
directive
Step 2: full scale fire test to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
fire suppression system
Step 3: Realisation of a prototype system in a running train to
demonstrate the feasibility and to get a clear view of the costs
Step 4: safety approval for the complete system and the software

Results for concepts – a new idea of design in mobility
Change of fire scenario:
For vehicles:
• Possibilities for new design of vehicles (different materials, no
fire barriers (open gangway philosophie), …)
• Possible positive effects in weight management
For station:
• Lower fire load = less smoke and heat development
• Smaller smoke extraction systems
• Less investment in fire protection measures on side of the
infrastrucutre
