BESKID

The overall goal of the BESKID project is the development of two AI systems that enable the performance of fire spread simulations in rail vehicles based on a small amount of experimental data. These scientific approaches aim to significantly simplify the calculation of design fires, thereby enabling their practical application on a larger scale. The use of such detailed simulations allows for the quantification of intrinsic and extrinsic influences, as well as the effects of structural and system-specific features of the vehicle on the fire progression. For example, the impact of ventilation or firefighting systems on the fire progression can be quantified.
