METHODOLOGY OF DETERMINATION OF FIRE HAZARD ZONES IN THE HIGH-BAY WAREHOUSES

Abstract

Searching relevant literature sourcesit was found that the determination of fire hazard zones in warehouses is not sufficiently researched and studied. This paper aims to present a new methodological approach concerning the mentioned issue. Based on the COPRAS multi-criteria decision-making method, a new method was developed for the precise determination of potential zones where there is a risk of fire. The advantage of the described method is that it enables quick and easy determination of all orientation zones of fire risk in a quick and simple way. The method requires fewer hardware resources compared to the existing ones and enables the display of the warehouse space in the form of a 3D model with calculated fire hazard zones. The mentioned procedure represents the first step when planning the layout and arrangement in the warehouse itself. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed through a suitable numerical example.
