"Optimizing Railway Safety: Enhancing Firefighting Policies with BIM and AI"

Abstract

Explore how this billion-dollar project navigates challenges in fire safety policy coordination between the government's fire bureau and the transportation department. Traditionally constrained by limited interoperability and manual processes, these key players in the industry are now embracing a new era of digital transformation through the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, offering the potential to revolutionize fire safety protocols in the railway sector. Through the utilization of advanced data analytics, predictive modeling, and analysis of passenger flow, stakeholders can proactively identify fire risks, enhance emergency response times, and elevate safety measures overall. This session will delve into the advantages, obstacles, and ramifications of integrating BIM and AI into existing railway safety frameworks, underscoring the transformative influence these technologies can have on safeguarding the well-being of passengers, employees, and infrastructure.

Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9514, Fire Code of the Philippines

In 2008, RA 9514, the 'Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008,' was enacted,

governing fire prevention and suppression. The BFP revised the

implementing rules from 2016 to 2019. In August 2019, during the ongoing

detail design of MMSP, RA 9514 was revised and announced, and Section

10.2.19.2 - Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems - was

added.

The code stipulates using the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA130). This addition had a significant impact on design of MMSP. As

excerpted below, rail systems and subways in the Philippines are required to

comply with NFPA 130. In addition, the provisions of Section J, Trainways'

Emergency Egress, require emergency egresses every 762 m or less or

cross passageways every 244 m or less for the enclosed trainways.

Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9514, Fire Code of the Philippines

NFPA STANDARD

“Stop at the middle of the tunnel, evacuate the passenger and transfer to the cross passageway, then walk to the nears train station.” Provided cross passageway and exits shaft.

JAPANESE STANDARD

“Continue going to the nearest train station.” Evacuate the passenger using exits within the station.

RA IL SU MM IT 20 2 4

Impact to the Project Cost

• Estimated construction cost of 59 cross passageway = Approx. 75,000,000 USD • Estimated construction cost of 4 Escape Shaft = Approx. 15,000,000 USD • Land Acquisition cost = subject to availability of land and agreement • Design Cost = Around 3-5% of construction cost = 2,700,000 USD

Total = 92,000,000 USD (Without land cost)

Time

• Modification of MEP design as well as System Design works • Duration of Construction = 18 to 24 Months • Extension of time of construction = 18 to 24 Months • Extension of time of commencement = 18 to 24 Months

18 to 24 Months delay

Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9514, Fire Code of the Philippines

RA 9514 RIRR (2019) Chapter 2 Rule 10, Fire Safety in Buildings, Structures,

and Facilities, Sections B and C, allow for the use of new methods or

devices if they offer improved safety, provided technical data

demonstrates equivalence.

Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9514, Fire Code of the Philippines

Aligned with RA 9514 RIRR, NFPA 130 Chapter 1, Section 1.4 allows also the used of Equivalency.

Fire Protection Issue Timeline Commencement of detailed design by JDT MMSP is designed according to Japanese fire protection standards, which agreed between JICA and DOTr. Cross-passages were not required by Japanese standards.

Feb. 2018

Discussion between BFP, DOTr and JDT JDT and DOTr considered that there are no

safety issues with the Japanese fire

protection standards and had discussed

with BFP for approval of the tunnel design

in accordance with the Japanese standards.

2019 to 2022

Revision of the fire code RA9514 RIRR (2019) require to

provide a cross-passage/elevation

shaft in the tunnel between stations in

accordance with NFPA130.

Aug. 2019

Instruction of cross-passage installation by BFP DOTr and GC received comments to

install Cross-passage for the tunnel of

CP101.

Summary Cost By utilizing BIM with AI, the visualization shown to the Client resulted in a savings of 92,000,000 USD in costs for constructing a cross passageway for each tunnel section.

Time Project delay about 18 to 24 months were avoided by emitting additional scope of work to create cross passageway.

Training and Education Using BIM with AI to illustrate scenarios from various standards can be an excellent educational resource for stakeholders.

Safety Evacuation on the narrow walkway was prevented, ensuring the safety of evacuees, including those with disabilities, children, and the elderly.

Change of Policy The stakeholders' decision-making regarding which fire policy to adopt was reinforced by visualizing each scenario.

Using BIM and AI, we can simulate firefighting scenarios to enhance decision-making for stakeholders. This integration allows for a detailed analysis of fire dynamics, resource allocation, and response strategies, ultimately leading to improved safety measures and more effective emergency management. By visualizing potential outcomes, stakeholders can make informed decisions that optimize firefighting efforts and enhance overall building safety.
