Contributing to the Identification of Fire Hazard Zones in High-Bay Warehouses

Abstract

Given that the determination of fire hazard zones in high-bay warehouses has not been sufficiently researched, this paper aims to present a novel methodological approach to address this issue. Based on the COPRAS multi-criteria decision-making method, a new procedure has been developed for the precise identification of zones with potential fire risks. The advantage of the proposed method lies in its ability to quickly and easily determine all potential fire hazard zones. This procedure represents the first step in the planning and layout design of the warehouse. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through a relevant numerical example.
