Abstract The existing statistical data bases for transportation system accidents have been designed primarily to fulfill the modal administrative reporting functions. As such, the data collected are of a very broad nature and of limited use in the identification of areas of possible research and in the development and measurement of the effectiveness of regulatory action. This report identifies the design objectives which fire safety data bases should address, and provides recommendations for improvements in transportation fire safety data bases. A review of the available data bases containing information on transportation fires is presented in Reference 1.
