With the increasing needs on various leisure activities, the users of passenger ships and cruisers have been increased year by year. Although over 15 accidents per year betide on domestic passenger ships for last decade, the researches on the safety of crews and guests on boards are difficult to find. This study performed the comparative analysis by experiments on the evacuation characteristics between experience levels on board a training ship. The followings are the results. From the seniors' experiments, it is found that more various evacuation scenarios have to develope and drill as a part of education contents. And from the freshmen's trials, the importances of the evacuation education and the roles of existing crews on evacuation guides are pointed out as to increase the safety of new crews and/or guests who are not accustomed to onboard a ship. On the other, it is explained that the communications between evacuees are worthy and useful, and also save more evacuation times. And on the viewpoint of evacuation methodology, it is clear that captain and evacuation-related crews have to control all the evacuation passages and evacuees of each passages to save more lives.

고층건물의 피난경로 제연설비는 차압형성과 방연풍량공급의 두 가지 목적을 가진다. 그러나 고층건물의 구조와 연돌효과 때문에 가압에 어느 정도의 기술적 고려가 필요하다. 피난계단실과 승강기승강로를 직접 가압하고 과압배출설비를 설치함으로써 합리적인 가압효과를 얻을 수 있다.

화재발생시 기존의 비상경보설비는 화재경보라는 단순한 정보만을 제공함으로서 대피자의 입장에서는 건축물의 안전상황 및 피난상황을 식별할 수 없다. 따라서 화재발생시 대피자들이 밀집되는 병목현상이나 화재 영향에 노출되어 있는 피난경로로의 대피 등은 화재 피해를 가중시키고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재 응용 가능한 대표적인 Ubiquitous 기술 중 개인의 위치를 식별하여 이용하는 위치인식기술 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)을 활용한다. RSSI를 기반으로 한 LQI(Link Quality Indication)는 무선통신기간의 거리인식을 통해 대피자 정보 시스템 정보를 획득한다. 이러한 위치정보시스템을 응용하여 개발한 화재 안전 시스템은 화재 위치를 식별하고 화재위험 지역의 상황변화를 예측하여 피난경로 선정을 위한 안전정보를 제공하여 준다.

세계적으로 지진, 해일, 홍수 등의 자연 재해와 화재, 테러 등의 인위적 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이러한 다양하고 예측 불가능한 재해로 인해 다수의 사상자가 발생하고 있다. 재해 발생 시 빠른 시간에 재해 발생 여부를 파악하여 재해 발생 위치와 적절한 피난 경로 등의 정보를 피해자에게 제공한다면 신속히 안전한 장소로 대피가 가능하여 피해를 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 재해 발생 시 피난 지원을 목적으로 연구하는 긴급피난지원시스템(ERESS)을 효과적으로 지원할 수 있도록 비상 시 긴급피난지원시스템을 위한 9축 센서 기반 행동 분석 시스템을 구현하였다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the evacuation route in a disaster information map to evacuate people to a shelter quickly and precisely during a disaster situation. For this purpose, this study examined the current status of domestic and international disaster information maps and related laws and conducted experiments to derive effective types of intersecting routes. The problems of the disaster information map were obtained through the first preliminary experiment and a survey. Based on these problems, experiments for each type were conducted to provide effective indication information for a disaster information map. To investigate the gait characteristics according to the number of crossing paths, the reduction rate in the crossing path was derived for each type by comparing the previous speed and passing speed. This will enable suggestions to judge the route quickly and accurately when determining the intersecting route in the search for an evacuation route. In conclusion, the experiment of this paper aims to make rapid and accurate evacuations using the disaster information map in response to disasters, and provide guidelines to citizens to contribute to a reduction of casualties.

The typical evacuation guidance system based on fire detectors, which is being widely used in theaters and large buildings, is often operated in an analog manner. In case of fire, it often causes the system to lose a wired line or wireless fire detection sensor, resulting in the difficulty of transmitting signals from a wired or wireless fire detection sensor to the main fire monitoring device. Accordingly, this paper has proposed the broadcasting system for disaster management, having an efficient evacuation guidance plan when a disaster occurs. The system reacts to an emergency situation along with fire alarm sirens in real time. We have implemented the above system by means of a simulation program that prints the evacuation guidance information (e.g., location and time of fire, and evacuation path) on an LCD located in a building through the fire sensor network in case of an emergency (e.g., actual fire). We have developed the simulation system by using mathematical algorithms, such as the optimal path search and the fire smoke diffusion algorithm. This simulation program considers the structure of a building and the location where the fire has initially occurred, applying it to the simulator.

The purpose of this study is to suggest that performers in the performing arts actively utilize the loading dock and stage door when evacuating from the stage space of a performance hall in a crisis situation. Therefore, first, we analyzed the system related to the performance hall's safety. The stage evacuation type was classified into A, B, C, and D forms by applying the building law audience evacuation standards. Second, statistical data were organized based on measurement data, and the characteristics of each form were summarized. Third, the network reliability measurement method was borrowed to evaluate the evacuation safety of the evacuation route in the stage space. We confirmed quantitatively that the direction of the loading dock direction and stage door direction on the stage is advantageous for evacuation. In this study, it was possible to distinguish the advantage of evacuation according to the type of evacuation, (A(0.1274)>B(0.1228).>.C(0.0487)) with A being the most advantageous. These results can be expected to improve the evacuation safety of the stage, and furthermore, they are expected to be used as basic data for stage evacuation.

The purpose of this study is to know how visual-field obstruction from fire smoke influences a resident's necessary time to reach fire escape and evacuation movement in a high-rise apartment housing. Generally, fire smoke not only gives visual-field obstruction and breath troubles to residents but interrupts their evacuation behavior. If a fire smoke layer is formed in the core department when evacuee enters at the evacuation staircase until, residents will be made to undergo a range of vision obstacle. In order to set a situation like that, participants wore eye bandage which had been made especially before the experiment. Also as a comparative standard, through no.1442 Japanese construction ministry notices about the building evacuation safety verification method, this study calculated smoke layer's dissent time and evacuation time. Then to compare with the former, the participants without an eye bandage joined a experiment once again. This study has understood how fire smoke effects on one's evacuation delay by analyzing residents' evacuation time to reach the staircase and movement route, however, in this study a toxic gas is not considered because it might threaten participants not to breathe.

본 논문에서는 실제 규모 데이터센터의 3D 모델링을 기반으로 대상 공간별 화재 시나리오를 선정하여 화재 및 피난 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. FDS와 Pathfinder는 full coupling 방식을 사용할 수 없는 한계가 있으며 semi coupling의 경우 가시화에는 도움이 되나 결과에 영향을 주지 않는다. 따라서 재실자의 피난 상황 시 경로에 대한 안전성과 화재 위험 노출 정도를 시각적으로 분석하는 것이 가능한 semi coupling과 시뮬레이션 결과 데이터 분석을 병행하여 수행하였다. 전산실의 경우 서버의 기능상실 한계 온도가 32도이기 때문에 서버 기능 정지 상황에 도달하는 시간을 중점적으로 분석하였다. 전산실은 업무 및 고객 서비스와 관련된 모든 데이터들을 저장하기 위해 항시 기동 되어야 하는데 전산실 내 화재가 발생할 경우 1~2분 이내 서버 기능이 정지되는 상황이 발생하였다. 따라서, 서버가 안전하게 계속 동작하기 위해서는 전력 계측 및 제어 케이블 열화, 서버 장치의 건전성이 유지되어야 하며 초기 화재를 빠르게 감지하여 진압하여야 한다. 피난 시뮬레이션의 경우 가시도를 상실하게 되는 시간이 약 195초(5m 미만) 인근으로 인원이 해당 층을 완전히 벗어나는 데 걸리는 시간이 약 125.6초였던 것을 보면 대피하기에 충분한 허용 피난시간(ASET)을 확보하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Applying a life safety concept to apartment design procedure is essential to protect people from unwanted fire. A Balcony design in apartment is a important egress safety factor because it provide means of safe egress and can limit a flame spread to adjacent space from fire source. Some design principles and details of balcony plan are suggested to improve egress safety level with analyzing broad case study.
