Abstract

This thesis is based on the study of necessity of an addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance in order to minimize human casualty by avoiding the initial evacuation after fires such as the multi-unit dwelling fire in Euijeongbu in 2015. To minimize the damage from fire generated in a complex internal structure such as modern buildings, introduction of adaptable emergency broadcasting system, could increase the efficiency of evacuation by preventing of initial mistaken evacuation directions by alerting the accurate location of fire to the occupants, is needed. As such, this study designed and fabricated the addressable emergency broadcasting system using the existing addressable system. Its performance was compared with a conventional emergency broadcasting system to confirm the necessity of the addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance. The test result showed that the addressable emergency broadcasting system decreased the evacuation time by up to 30.3% in a small-scale model evacuation performance experiment, up to 54.6% in a hallway evacuation performance experiment compared to the conventional emergency broadcasting system.

본 논문은 2015년에 발생된 의정부 공동주택화재와 같이 화재발생시 초기 피난실패로 안타까운 인명피해 발생을 최소화하기 위하여 피난성능향상을 위한 주소형 비상방송시스템의 필요성에 관한 연구이다. 특히, 현대 건축물과 같이 복잡한 내부구조에서 발생되는 화재피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 정확한 화재위치를 재실자에게 경보하여 초기 피난방향 오류방지를 통해 효율적인 피난이 가능한 적응성 있는 비상방송시스템의 도입이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기 개발된 주소형 시스템을 이용한 주소형 비상방송시스템을 설계 제작하고, 기존 재래식 비상방송시스템과의 성능비교실험을 실시하여 피난성능향상을 위한 주소형 비상방송시스템의 필요성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 주소형 비상방송시스템이 재래식 비상방송시스템보다 축소모형 피난성능실험에서는 최대 30.3%, 복도 피난성능실험에서는 최대 54.6% 이상 피난완료시간이 단축시킬 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
