Recently, the research to visualize and to reproduce evacuation situations such as terrorism, the disaster and fire indoor space has been come into the spotlight and designing a model for interior space and reliable analysis through safety evaluation of the life is required. Therefore, this paper aims to develop simulation model which is able to suggest evacuation route guidance and safety analysis by considering the major risk factor of fire in actual building. First of all, we designed 3D-based fire and evacuation model at a subway station building in Incheon and performed fire risk analysis through thermal parameters on the basis of interior materials supplied by Incheon Transit Corporation. In order to evaluate safety of a life, ASET (Available Safe Egress Time), which is the time for occupants to endure without damage, and RSET (Required Safe Egress Time) are calculated through evacuation simulation by Fire Dynamics Simulator. Finally, we can come to the conclusion that a more realistic safety assessment is carried out through indoor space model based on 3-dimension building information and simulation analysis applied by safety guideline for measurement of fire and evacuation risk.

In this parer, we design the artificial intelligent direction escape light control system to improve/complete the defects of the existing fire fighting system, and sketch an optimum escape guide algorithm for its implementation. It intends to minimize human casualties and injuries by calculating/predicting moving line of the optimum emergency escape, by means of interlocking the sensor and the reception group and analyzing the data of the combustion point and the smoke movement. The optimum escape algorithm is designed by FLOYD algorithm which calculates the shortest distance. It consists of the measuring method which calculates the shortest distance by using hazardous factors for each condition in danger which is judged by the sensor installed in each area.

It is important to conduct various analyzes to evacuate occupants in advance, because the disaster can cause serious injury. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze all the predictable scenarios that may occur. In this study, we propose a method to analyze the evacuation of indoor disaster using activity - based transport model MATSim. We have developed the university building as target area and simulated about 5,000 occupants. The analysis scenarios are set as basic evacuation conditions, exit closures and emergency stair closures. As a result of analysis of each scenario, the evacuation time was analyzed to be about 5:40(340s) in the base scenario, increased by 15% in the scenario 2 and increased by 23% in scenario 3. As a result of this study, we suggest that it is important to manage illegal obstacles of emergency stairs for rapid evacuation. Therefore, this study can contribute to the effective disaster prevention strategy of the building.

In this study, a simulated situation in which the visions of the evacuees were blocked by the smoke, which is one of the most dangerous factors that cause casualties in case of an emergency, was conducted for the evaluation of the performance of an evacuation guidance system. For this purpose, the behavior and time taken by the experiment subjects in simulated evacuation test were measured and analyzed. When the evacuation guidance sound signals were given by 4 speakers at the same time, most of the subject were disoriented and took generally longer in getting to the pre-designated evac point. And, using only one speaker instead of two showed a better result in terms of the evacuation behavior or and orientation. Also, when there were two or more speakers used for the broadcasting of the guidance message, it turned out that using Hass effect, and placing the speakers closer, could result in higher awareness of the guidance message and maintenance of the orientation, while it also made the subjects took short to get to the evac point.

지구 온난화에 의한 엘리뇨, 라니냐의 발생은 한반도에 커다란 기후변화를 가져왔다. 이러한 변화는 연간 총 강우량은 크게 변화하지 않았지만 강우강도가 증가하고, 태풍의 규모가 커지는 등 홍수방어의 측면에서 상당한 어려움을 야기하고 있다. 2006년 태풍 '에위니아'와 이에 뒤이은 태풍과 중국 북부지방의 기단이 장마전선을 형성하며 사상 최고의 강우강도를 기록한 집중호우는 미래의 기후조건이 극단의 사상으로 변화하고 있으며 이에 따른 구조적/비구조적 대책이 요구됨을 단적으로 드러내는 예이다. 이러한 집중호우들의 결과로 발생하는 제방붕괴 등으로 인한 홍수범람은 수많은 인명과 재산의 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 500년 빈도 홍수유출에 의한 제방붕괴모의를 실시하고 강원도 원주시에 대한 침수심과 범람범위를 도출하고, 해당 침수지역의 홍수위험강도(침수심${\times}$유속)를 구하였고, FEMA에서 제시한 바 있는 Downstream Hazard Classification Guidelines(USBR, 1988)의 사람 및 가옥에 대한 위험 정도를 도출하였으며, 이 자료들을 근간으로 하여 침수심과 범람범위의 정보를 포함하고 있던 범람지도와 지역별 홍수의 세기를 표현하는 홍수위험 정보를 GIS Tool(ArcView, ArcGIS, CAD 등)들을 이용하여 표출함으로써 좀 더 효율적이고 체계적인 홍수지도를 작성하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 작성된 홍수위험정보 지도(침수심, 유속분포도, 홍수위험강도)는 주민의 대피 이동시나 대피지구 선정, 홍수로부터 발생하는 피해에 대한 최적화된 대응 대비, 도시개발계획 수립시 개발지역의 선정 등에 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 다양한 정보를 포함하고 있는 홍수정보 지도의 작성을 통해 기존 침수깊이와 범람범위의 1차적인 정보에서 수립할 수 있었던 계획이 가질 수 있었던 한계점을 좀 더 향상된 정보를 이용하여 극복함으로써 효율적이고 체계적인 치수 방재 계획수립이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study is to apply and to evaluate the radar-based risk prediction algorithm for damage reduction by sudden localized heavy rain in urban areas. The algorithm is combined with three processes such as "detection of cumulonimbus convective cells that can cause a sudden downpour", "automatic tracking of the detected convective cells", and "risk prediction by considering the possibility of sudden downpour". This algorithm was applied to rain events that people were marooned in small urban stream. As the results, the convective cells were detected through this algorithm in advance and it showed that it is possible to determine the risk of the phenomenon of developing into local heavy rain. When use this risk predicted results for flood prevention operation, it is able to secure the evacuation time in small streams and be able to reduce the casualties.

황강댐은 임진강 상류 군사분계선으로부터 약 42km떨어진 위치에 존재하며 약 3~4억톤의 규모로 추정된다. 이에 우리나라는 약 7천만톤 규모의 군남홍수조절지를 건설하여 임진강 상류로부터 기인하는 홍수를 방어하고 황강댐의 무단방류에 대비하고 있다. 과거 2009년 9월 6일 임진강 상류 황강댐에서의 대규모 방류로 인해 경기도 연천군 일대에 홍수가 발생하여 이로 인한 인명 및 재산피해가 발생한 바 있으며, 2020년 8월 5일에는 장마전선으로 인한 폭우와 더불어 임진강 필승교 수위관측소의 수위가 급상승하면서 관측 이래 역대 최고수위가 발생하여 홍수경보가 발령되고 인근 주민이 대피하는 사례가 발생하였다. 또한, 2022년 6월 27일부터 발생한 장마전선 및 집중호우로 인해 임진강 필승교 수위관측소의 수위가 급상승하면서 홍수주의보가 발령되고 인근 주민이 대피하는 사례가 발생하였으며, 7월에는 비가 내리지 않는 상황에서 황강댐의 방류로 추정되는 유입량이 필승교 수위관측소와 군남홍수조절지에서 관측되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공위성 영상에서 추출한 황강댐의 수위를 이용하여 수문모형과 저수지 운영 알고리즘을 구축하고 당시 발생한 홍수사례를 분석하여 황강댐의 운영방식을 추정하였다. 분석결과, 2020년 8월 5~7일 사이에 발생한 유입량의 경우 자체 유역 유입량은 전체 유입량대비 약 33%이나 북한 황강댐으로부터 추가로 방류된 양은 약 67%로 군남홍수조절지 유입량의 3/2 가량이 북한 황강댐의 방류량으로부터 발생된 것으로 보이며 2021년 6월에도 유사한 양상을 보였다. 하지만, 북한 황강댐의 운영방식이 용수공급을 위한 고수위 유지 운영방식에서 홍수기에 댐 월류 및 파괴를 방지하기 위한 사전방류를 수행하는 것으로 추정되었다.

Fire is a disaster that causes irreversible damage to many people due to personal injury and property damage. Various fire detection equipments are installed around us to detect and cope with it quickly. However, due to various problems such as artificial, environmental, and aging, fire detection equipment is activated even though it is not a actual fire, and there are many problems such as delaying the support to the necessary fire scene. In this paper, we analyze the non-fire alarm of the fire detection equipment and propose a system that enables the field staff to check the scene situation through the video as a way to prevent the mobilization due to the misinformation by checking the fire. The purpose of the present invention is to stably cope with a disaster by suggesting a customized automatic guidance system which induces a rapid evacuation by sending an evacuation guidance notification to a range of a fire occurrence neighboring area, and supports a rapid and accurate processing by a rapid dispatch of a firefighter, rather than a wide range of guidance such as an existing emergency disaster guidance letter when it is determined to be an actual fire through the confirmation procedure.

In case of a fire in urban large structures such as super high-rise buildings, evacuation guidance must be provided to the occupants in order to minimize human deaths and injuries. Therefore, it is essential to provide emergency evacuation guidance when a major fire occurs. In order to effectively support evacuation guidance, it is important to identify major items such as fire location, occupant position, escape route, etc. Also, it is important to quickly identify evacuation areas where residents can safely evacuate from a fire. In this paper, we analyze the CCTV video and propose a method of measuring visibility of the evacuation zone from the smoke caused by the fire in order to determine the safety of evacuation area. To do this, we first extract the background video from the smoke video to measure the visibility of the specific area due to smoke. After generating an edge-extracted image for the extracted background video, the degree of visibility is measured by calculating the change in the edge strength due to smoke.
