Research on False Alarm Rate Reducing Strategies for Subway Train Fire Alarm System by ZHANG Qian, XU Shaohong, XUE Hongquan

“…The false alarm rate can be reduced by hardware optimization methods such as adding dust filter devices, adopting dual light source detectors, multi-parameter gas detectors and pyrolysis particle detectors; the rate can also be reduced by optimizing software algorithms (optimization modeling method, automatic adjustment of alarm thresholds, machine self-learning algorithm, etc.). Combining multi-parameters acquisition unit detection with intelligent analysis algorithms, distinguishing interference factors such as dust, water vapor, and smoke particles can also reduce the false alarm rate and improve the anti-interference ability and reliability of the fire detection system.…”
