Abstract

The Firefighting and Rescue Wagon (YSKV) is designed as a multifunctional emergency response vehicle for railway transportation accidents, such as fires, explosions, and chemical leaks. This specialized wagon aims to ensure the safe rescue and evacuation of passengers, provide temporary secure storage for hazardous materials, and minimize potential environmental damage. Additionally, it offers the capability to swiftly implement environmental safety measures and conduct effective rescue operations in disaster areas. The wagon provides a unique advantage, particularly in areas where road access is not possible, including railway corridors, bridges, and tunnels. It has been specifically developed for use in locations where conventional rescue and firefighting vehicles cannot reach. This enables rapid response to sudden incidents like fires and supports rescue teams in working safely within the disaster zone.

Yangın Söndürme ve Kurtarma Vagonu Tasarımı

Abstract

Yangın Söndürme ve Kurtarma Vagonu (YSKV), demiryolu taşımacılığında meydana gelebilecek kazalarda (örneğin yangın, patlama, kimyasal sızıntı) çok yönlü bir müdahale aracı olarak tasarlanmıştır. Bu özel vagon, yolcuların güvenli bir şekilde kurtarılmasını ve tahliyesini sağlamayı, tehlikeli yüklerin güvenli bir şekilde geçici olarak depolanmasını ve çevreye olası zararların minimize edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, çevre güvenliği tedbirlerini hızla uygulama ve afet bölgelerinde etkin kurtarma faaliyetleri yürütme kabiliyeti sunar. Vagon, özellikle karayolu ulaşımının mümkün olmadığı alanlarda, demiryolu hattının geçtiği bölgelerde, köprülerde ve tünellerde eşsiz bir avantaj sağlar. Geleneksel kurtarma ve itfaiye araçlarının erişim sağlayamadığı yerlerde kullanılmak üzere geliştirilmiştir. Bu sayede hem yangın gibi ani durumlarda hızlı müdahaleye olanak tanır hem de kurtarma ekiplerinin afet alanında güvenle çalışabilmesine destek olur.
