Formation of the appearance of a promising basic chassis for mobile firefighting equipment in the Arctic zones of the Russian Federation

The paper proposes the design of a promising platform as a base chassis (BC) for mobile firefighting equipment in the Arctic zones of the Russian Federation. The methodology is based on a system analysis. It included the analysis of climatic and soil conditions in the Arctic zones of the Russian Federation. The creation of such special platforms as basic chassis for the placement of fire extinguishing means is highly relevant. The study demonstrates the main ways and defines the methods of creating new and improving existing basic chassis of special equipment in order to prevent the occurrence and elimination of the consequences of emergency situations. It analyses the structure of existing and prospective BC and identifies the main structural units as the main parameter when creating new and improving existing BC. The paper considers the effectiveness of the BC as a component element of the effectiveness of mobile fire extinguishing means. It also determines the main indicators characterizing the efficiency of the BC and proposes the concept of an articulated multi-component BC. It highlights the main features characterizing the articulated BC as promising for use in extreme climatic conditions of the Arctic zones of the Russian Federation. The signs include multi-sectionality, a single energy module, adaptive distribution of power flows between sections, quick-release connections between sections. The formation of a transport train according to the number and composition of sections is based on the type, remoteness of the emergency center, weather conditions and terrain at the location of the center and on the way to it.
