The present application provides a method and apparatus for evaluating the operation continuity of a high-speed
train during a fire. The method comprises: applying, to a
system functional block to be evaluated in a
train operation
simulation model, a simulated ignition source corresponding to a preset fire type; determining whether said
system functional block can maintain a corresponding operation capability within a preset
fire resistance index time period; if said
system functional block cannot maintain the corresponding operation capability, determining whether a redundant configuration exists; if no redundant configuration exists, determining whether a
train is equipped with a
firefighting system; if the train is not equipped with a
firefighting system, configuring the train to operate in a
degraded mode, and determining whether the
tractive force of the train can maintain normal traveling on a preset
route during operation; if the
tractive force cannot maintain normal operation of the train, determining that said system functional block does not have operation continuity during a fire. The present application can comprehensively and efficiently evaluate the capabilities of systems to maintain the intended functions when a fire occurs on a high-speed train, thereby achieving precise monitoring of the
fire prevention capabilities of high-speed trains and enhancing the
fire safety performance of high-speed trains.
