The present paper proposes an innovative system architecture for the safety management of passenger evacuation inside an Airport Terminal, in case of a big indoor fire. The basic idea, in addition to fire hazard pre-assessment, is that information from a fast-predictive simulation of the fire evolution, immediately after the fire starting, could help the airport safety management system in taking sudden decisions to manage very specific fire scenarios. The system is based on an advanced technological interconnection among a simulation model of Fire Safety Engineering, IoT safety and environmental sensors, specific Augmented Reality equipment, and a remote server, able to exchange data by Wi-Fi connections and to elaborate them on a software platform. The ultimate scope of this system is to equip rescuers and airport safety managers with added value AR tools, like AR smart-glasses or tablets, usable for supporting safety decisions and emergency interventions.

Scale Test

The fire simulation curve this paper presents is based on a curve which is proposed by Barnett in 2002. The curve is used to study the temperature change in a fire scenario in the interior of a rectangular compartment. However, it is not applicable to use in some long, limited spaces with arc boundaries, such as aircraft cabins. Some improvements and simplifications are made to the curve to solve this problem. A numerical simulation is conducted via the modified curve in a B737 fuselage during a postcrash fire. The result is compared with a fire dynamics simulator (FDS) simulation and a full-scale test undertaken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The practicability and accuracy of the modified curve is proved through the relevant analysis and the main relative error analysis. The time to flashover is also predicted by the curve and the FDS simulation, respectively. Several parameters are chosen as influence factors to study their effect on the time to flashover in order to delay the occurrence of the flashover. This study may provide a technical support for the cabin fire safety design, safety management, and fire safety engineering.

Definition Of

The Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is a multi-discipline aimed to define the fire safety strategy for buildings under fire conditions, in which structural stability and control of fire spread are achieved by providing active and/or passive fire protection. In this paper, the aspects of FSE for the structural safety checks in case of fire are shown with reference to Italian and European standards. FSE requires the choice of a performance level, the definition of design fire scenarios, the choice of heat flows models and several numerical thermo-mechanical analyses. The information provided by a significant research, performed in Europe for open and closed car parks, are used to apply the FSE to the car parks of the new buildings of the C.A.S.E. Project for L’Aquila, characterized by steel columns supporting the seismically isolated superstructure. The results of the application of the FSE approach are reported and discussed in the second part of the paper.
