This study examined how the fire evacuation induction service system using a smartphone navigation application in the event of a fire affects the fire evacuation time, and the following conclusions were drawn. 1. The evacuation time was reduced by 22 seconds when the navigation application was used in computer scenario simulation. Even in the demonstration simulation, the evacuation time was reduced by 40 seconds when the navigation application was used. This indicates that the navigation application is effective in shortening the evacuation time in case of fire. 2. As a result of the demonstration scenario simulation, the time until the end of evacuation was 39 seconds faster in the case of evacuation guidance than in the case where it was not conducted. 3. No bottlenecks occurred in the evacuation route during the demonstration scenario simulation. As a result, there was a difference in the time required to complete the evacuation between the computer scenario simulation and the demonstration scenario simulation.

As buildings have been constructed higher and more complicated recently, the activities of the residents occurred in those multiplex buildings have also become more various. As a result, possibility and the size of the damage from the disaster like a fire are getting larger. So, many studies for preventing the damage in refuge situation are being conducted. In this study, a new process for finding the optimum refuge path is presented, which is different from existing methods. This new method operates by using the human movement detection system in the building for real time. And the process also shows the new way which can shorten the number of calculation for deciding the optimum refuge path. That new way is to make variables such as the velocity of smoke and person movement into a constant. Finally it will be applied to a multiplex building.

There is a tremendous need for an effective indoor facility management since the building are tend to be built taller and bigger due to latest technology. Also, information that is continuously used and transferred during the design and construction phase is emerging due to 3D object-oriented CAD. Therefore, a system that will use such information for facility management should be developed. In this study, we have defined a process that will automatically create an spatial network model and also verified the usability by establishing an sample model. As a result, an effective spatial network has been generated and an evacuation path finder was found efficiently.

Because of the insufficiency of ground space, the utilization of underground is getting more and more in these days. Moreover, underground space is being used not only buildings but multipurpose space for movement, storage and shopping. However, ground space has vital weakness for fire compared to ground space. Especially in case of underground shopping center, there are various stuffs to burn and poisonous gas can be exposed on this count when the space is burned. A large number of casualties can be also occurred from conflagration as underground space has closed structures that prevent rapid evacuation and access. Therefore, this research proposes the guidance methodology for evacuation from conflagration in large-sized underground facilities. In addition, suggested methodology uses high technology wireless sensor information from up-to-date ubiquitous sensor networks. Fire information collected by sensors is integrated with existing underground facilities information and this is sent to guidance systems by inducing process. In the end, this information is used for minimum time paths finding algorithm considering the passageway capacity and distance. Also, usefulness and inadequacies of proposed methodology is verified by a case study.

Recently, residential spaces in urban areas have changed into multi - family residential spaces. There is a feature that smoke is charged when a fire occurs here. Also, the evacuation route and the direction of the outflow of smoke are the same, and the possibility of inhaling the smoke of the evacuees is very high. When fighting fire in a narrow residential space such as a dwelling in a downtown area, exploration is the most important. For this purpose, we implement EO / IR sensor which can be mounted on firefighter 's helmet and can be used for fire detection. By using the EO / IR operation test, we can derive the results that can be used for research and development of the fire search sensor.

As the industry develops, the size of buildings and ships are getting bigger and more complicated. In such a complex space, emergency evacuation systems are required because of the possibility of casualties when an accident situation occurs. However, because present systems are composed of basic devices, such as alarms, emergency exit signs, and announcement regarding the situation and inform only the least information to evacuees, evacuees are not able to judge objectively. To solve these problems, various evacuation algorithms have been proposed. However, these studies aim to search evacuation routes based on specific risk factors or to model the effects of bottlenecks in evacuation situations. Therefore, there is a limit to apply to real systems. Therefore, we propose algorithms to search the optimal evacuation route considering various risk factors such as fire and bottleneck in evacuation situations and to be applicable in actual situation in this paper. Performance evaluation using computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme is effective.

This paper proposes a direction estimation scheme with directional speaker and smart device for evacuation guidance. When there is worst disaster environment filled with smoke and noisy sound, evacuee can not get any information about evacuation routes. The proposed scheme can be used for detecting evacuation routes with audible and inaudible signal from directional speaker. At this point, evacuee can get evacuee guidance by using smartphone application that the proposed scheme is applied. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by experiment with three different types of smart devices in large indoor environment. The purpose of experiment is to detect the direction of transmitted signal from directional speaker. Therefore, The experiment is conducted by analyzing the strength of transmitted signal by distance. The experimental results show that even if the smart device is located up to 20m away from the speaker, it is possible to detect the sending direction of the signal. We confirmed the possibility of the proposed technology in 8kHz and 20kHz signal detection by smart device.

Recently, natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and snowstorms, in addition to disasters of human origin such as arson, and acts of terror, have caused numerous injuries and fatalities around the world. During such disasters, victims need to obtain information such as the exact location of the disaster and appropriate evacuation routes in order to relocate to safe areas. In this study, We propose the algorithm for Emergency Rescue Evacuation Support System(ERESS). In case a emergency disaster occurs, ERESS is possible to detect it quickly using through the movement of people. The mobile terminal analyzes behavior and location of indoor pedestrian. And it sends the result to the server. The server determines whether an emergency situation occurred or not based on the received transmission information. When an emergency situation occurs, the server will notify it to the mobile terminal. Then, indoor pedestrian conduct emergency evacuation using mobile terminal.

The university dormitory have various functions and large floating population so in the occurrence of fire, there could be heavy casualties. Also, when university dormitory is located far from fire station, it is difficult to fire brigade arrives on Golden Time. Therefore, university dormitory need response capabilities for fire by itself. This study conducted a simulation experiment on those residing in K University dormitory in Gangwon-do, where site proximity is unfavorable, to observe evacuation characteristics of the occupants. As a result, evacuation is delayed due to a lack of evacuation routes and administrator, some students lack of fire awareness. Also fire brigade didn't arrive on Golden Time. Therefore, to resolve problems it is proposed that a student fire volunteer department.
