PCTC / Ro-Ro EV Fire Detection & Thermal Runaway Risk Tool
Assess whether a vehicle deck is prepared to detect, locate, control and monitor an EV or conventional vehicle fire before escalation. Screen cargo mix, damaged-battery exposure, detection layers, alarm-to-water response, fixed water coverage, drainage, ventilation shutdown, charging isolation, adjacent-vehicle cooling and post-fire thermal monitoring without pretending to predict the probability of a battery fire.

Vehicle & Battery Exposure
Impact, water ingress, battery warning or overheating.
Planning information only; no universal carriage SOC limit assumed.

Advanced Vehicle Deck Register
Each deck is scored independently. The weakest deck controls.

Risk language: the index is a readiness / escalation score, not the probability that an EV will ignite. Conventional vehicle fires can also become severe PCTC/Ro-Ro casualties.
