METRO is a three year Swedish research project about infrastructure protection. The focus of the project is on the protection of underground rail mass transport systems, such as tunnels and subway stations. Both fire and explosion hazards are studied, and aspects such as evacuation, rescue operations and smoke control are important parts of the project.
As part of the project a series of small-scale, medium-scale and full-scale experiments will be performed. The full-scale test will be performed 13 September in the Brunsberg tunnel near Arvika, Sweden. The goal with these tests is to develop design fires for underground rail mass transport systems.
A total of nine partners take part in the project. METRO is funded by five organizations, namely Stockholm Public Transport (SL), Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and the Swedish Fire Research Board.
In conjunction with the full-scale tests, a seminar will be organized concerning the project and results to date. You are invited to participate in this METRO Seminar and visit the test site of the full-scale fire test 13 – 14 September 2011 at ENGgården, Brunskog, Sweden.
