The heat release rate of a subway car on fire is measured for various positions of an ignition source and simulated materials differing in combustibility by using a reduced-scale model. Although the maximum HRR value is nearly independent of the position of the ignition source, the time required to reach this value varies greatly for different ignition positions. The open area of a subway car is a key factor that determines the maximum HRR value, although material combustibility also has an effect. Finally, the HRR curve is compared with that of a fire test in a real-scale subway car.
