Method of extinguishing fires in tunnels uses sensors to detect fire locus and robots moved on rails to fight fire

摘要

The method of extinguishing fires in tunnels involves detecting the locus (4) of the fire and operating automatic extinguishers in the area. The extinguishers (1) can be self propelled (2) and moved along rails to the seat of the fire. the extinguishers can leave supply hoses for an extinguishing foam-water mix. The sensors can be infra-red with a compressed air cooling supply.
