Abstract

In this study, an analysis was conducted on internal and external factors related to fires in electric vehicles in order to improve the safety of electric vehicles against fire accidents. To conduct the analysis, field survey data conducted on actual electric vehicle fire accidents were used, and accident-related statistical data was used. Among them, as a result of analyzing the internal factors related to fire accidents in electric vehicles, it was confirmed that high-voltage batteries are an important factor in fire accidents caused by internal factors of electric vehicles. An analysis of external factors for fire accidents of electric vehicles was also conducted in this study. The largest number of electric vehicle accidents that occurred on public roads were mainly caused by physical external forces such as collisions. Therefore, strengthening the safety of this road infrastructure could be an additional solution to improve the fire safety of electric vehicles. As a result, based on car accident cases, two crash scenarios based on road infrastructure were derived, each of which simulates a high-speed frontal collision situation and a lower-end collision situation. Additionally, detailed test methods for these scenarios were developed.
