THE PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING INPUT PARAMETERS IN THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING POTENTIAL RISK ZONES IN WAREHOUSES

Abstract

Taking into account that fire safety in warehouses is a serious challenge and has not been sufficiently investigated, this paper aims to present a new methodological approach concerning the mentioned issue. The COPRAS MCDM method was implemented in the aforementioned approach to determine the weight coefficients based on the emission and thermal characteristics of the materials placed in the high-bay warehouse. The mentioned coefficients represent input data for calculations and simulations to determine potential fire risk zones. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was verified by a numerical example.
