Fire safety of interior materials of buses

Abstract This study provides an analysis on the fire safety of passengers and protection coaches buses. A brief review major bus incidents, overview current regulations in Europe, their limitations are presented. The finds that small‐scale test methods described UN ECE Reg No. 118 need to be replaced by can assess reaction materials when exposed ignition sources varying sizes. To address these shortcomings, proposed expert recommendation update material requirements testing for Additional measures proposed, derived from objectives strategies applied other transport sectors, tested through existing European international standards, which widely used several industries. These aim extend time with tenable conditions a safe evacuation case fire, reduce degree damage buses, risk fast excessive thermal exposure modern energy carriers needed more sustainable sector.
