Abstract:
1. A method for detecting fires in railway vehicles, comprising: sucking-in of compartment air in a railway vehicle by at least two suctioning devices operated separately from one another, wherein a first one of the suctioning devices includes a first suction pipe branching into a first region and a second suction pipe branching into a second region, the first and second regions being within spatially separated monitoring regions of the railway vehicle and wherein a second one of the suctioning devices includes a third suction pipe branching into the first region and a fourth suction pipe branching into the second region; separately evaluating monitoring parameters of the compartment air sucked-in in the at least two suctioning devices; and outputting an alarm signal on simultaneous detection of a monitoring parameter in two of the at least two suctioning devices for localizing a fire.
