Bombardier's INNOVIA APM 300 vehicle has been designed to meet the fire test standards as outlined in NFPA 130 Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, 2010 Edition. Qualification of this design included a fire endurance test in accordance with ASTM E119 performed on a representative sample of the floor structure with a vertical test load including a passenger crush load. NFPA 130 2010 requires that Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) vehicles endure this test for at least 15 minutes while all other passenger carrying vehicles must last for 30 minutes. The Innovia APM 300 vehicle has been tested in two different configurations to meet both of these requirements. The 30-minute configuration included additional fire protection on the underside of the floor structure to endure the ASTM E 119 furnace temperature profile for the additional 15 minutes.
