Vehicles have undergone significant change over the years. Modern vehicles present new hazards, such as due to the incorporation of larger quantities of combustible materials (e.g. fuels, plastics, synthetic materials, etc.) into their designs and use of alternative fuels. Compared to older vehicles, modern vehicles burn differently. Modern parking garages have optimized space requirements for vehicle parking and storage and often implement automated retrieval features and car stacking, which presents unique hazards as well. Thus, many have questioned whether the safety infrastructure of these parking structures have kept pace with the modern hazard. This session will review the findings of latest research, provide insights into global parking garage fire incidents, and define how the risk has changed.
