In this study, an evaluation model is proposed based on the entropy weight method combined with dynamic traffic conditions to determine the regional fire service accessibility index Cj. Taking Shenzhen, a megacity in China, as the study area, POI data were used to identify 510 fire stations as supply points and 3378 underground parking garages as demand points, yielding 165,522 samples across 49 evaluation scenarios. The results show that the overall average travel time, distance, and velocity are 388.17 s, 2217.95 m, and 5.84 m\/s. Cj fluctuates between 0.572 and 0.813, demonstrating clear time-of-day differences. The overall average Cj for all 49 scenarios is 0.697, corresponding to Grade \u201cC\u201d, representing the general level of regional fire service accessibility. It is recommended that additional fire resources be deployed during peak hours and that fire station layouts in peripheral areas be optimized to improve fire safety in underground parking garages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi15030115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]],"date-time":"2026-03-09T15:49:42Z","timestamp":1773071382000},"page":"115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Regional Fire Service Accessibility for Underground Parking Garages"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Leng","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diping","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9836-9871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dingli","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guohua","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"257","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tust.2015.11.024","article-title":"Development and application of underground space use in Hong Kong","volume":"55","author":"Wallace","year":"2016","journal-title":"Tunn.
