Abstract. This article presents the results of studies on the influence of irradiance level on the thermal decomposition of a non-metal materials used in floor constructions in rolling stock. This paper contains an analysis of emitted products of combustion and their evolution rate during the potential fire of railway vehicles. The irradiance level of the most intense individual gas emissions was determined, which allowed estimating the safe evacuation time of passengers and staff.
