- Abstract
- This report presents the results of the research completed in Task 4 of the International Road Tunnel Fire Detection Research Project (Phase II): Field Fire Tests in an Operating Road Tunnel in Montreal, Canada. The objectives of Task 4 were: (*) Investigate the performance of fire detectors/detection systems in an operatingtunnel environment; (*) Evaluate the performance of selected fire detectors at their maximum detection range; and (*) Provide technical information for comparison to those obtained in thelaboratory tunnel tests.
