Electric Bus Fire Prevention and Risk Management
| 项目名称： | Electric Bus Fire Prevention and Risk Management |
| 摘要： | The objective of this research is to develop a guide to lithium-ion battery transit bus fire prevention and risk management with recommended practices for original equipment manufacturers, battery companies, transit agency facilities, and vehicle maintenance. The focus should be on zero-emission transit bus fire prevention and risk management. A parallel project is addressing power generation, distribution, and charging infrastructure; institutional relations; and operations. At a minimum, the research team shall (1) review the potential root causes of ZEB lithium-ion battery fires, including an analysis of the potential of such fires to spread to other vehicles or reignite after suppression; (2) evaluate risk mitigation options; (3) identify, evaluate, and summarize effective practices for fire risk mitigation and suppression, focusing on agencies that store and charge their buses in indoor facilities; (4) identify quantitative and qualitative metrics that can be used to evaluate vehicle and battery performance as they relate to fire and life safety; and (5) address the technical, economic, and institutional barriers to implementing identified solutions. |
