Korean railroad company is continuously improving the service for the disabled. They also install and reform many facilities for them. However, It is not considered the importance of egress when fire occurred in a cabin Now, Fire hazard analysis and risk assessment are introduced into domestic regulations for improving fire safety performance of train car and railroad facilities. Considering the fact that fire safety evaluation process doesn't fully include disabled person, fundamental egress data for them is very important for life safety aspect. In this paper, Egress experiments and analysis were conducted to measure the movement speed of the disabled with Mugunghwa and Saemaul.

최근 대형화 고층화 복합화 등 점차 발전하는 건축물의 피난 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 성능위주 중심의 피난안전계획이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 관련 법규의 세부적 기준이 없어 국외 기준에 기반하여 피난안전계획이 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 점차 도입되고 있는 성능적 기준의 도입을 위하여 국내외 관련 기준 및 관련 재실자 밀도 조사 사례를 분석한 결과 국내 제정된 법규는 기준 자체의 목적이 다르고 제한적 용도라는 한계점이 있었으며 또한 기존 연구 사례를 통해 조사 시기 및 방법과 결과의 적용, 신뢰성 확보 등 법규화를 위한 재실자 밀도 기준의 연구 방향을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, using the FDS as the fire simulation and evacuation simulations of the Pathfinder, set the main control room of the building to the fire point fire safety assessment studies were carried out. At first the quantitative result such as distribution of visibility as time passing, distribution of temperature, distribution of CO density produced results using fire-simulation and evacuation-simulation was carried out based on the result that produced the final safety evaluation result as being calculated of evacuation time. As the risk increased with the distribution of visibility at the result of fire-simulation, evacuation-simulation was carried out using the result. Finally the result was made 127.9 sec that everyone could evacuate. The numerical results are analyzed in case of the places in the building required safe egress time for safety a as the analysis to be no more than available safe egress time was analyzed to be secured. The results of this safety evaluation represent that more smooth evacuation safety performance can be secured by linking the event of fire firefighting equipment as a result of simulating the worst conditions.

This study is related with fire risk assessment for occupant of the area adjacent to not enclosed atrium through the computer modeling and application of enhanced fire protection systems depending on the result. Fire scenario is intended to evaluate the impact of a fire from atrium base within the corridor adjacent to the atrium and to compare with egress time depending on the warning system. The major purpose of this study is to figure out fire life safety for occupant adjacent to atrium through the computer simulation and to suggest alternative option in case the occupant safety is not guaranteed.

지난 2009년부터 30층 이상 건축물에 대해 성능위주 설계가 의무화되면서 초고층 건축물의 피난설계에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 수직적인 계단실 내부에서 반복적으로 회전하며 이동하는 초고층 건축물의 피난행태는 일반적인 건축물과는 큰 차이가 있으므로 그 동안 상대적으로 활발히 진행되어온 일반적 중 저층 건축물의 피난기준을 초고층 건축물에 적용시키기에는 어느 정도 무리가 있다고 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초고층 건축물의 피난계단실의 합리적인 설계를 위한 선행연구로 건축물에서 피난시간을 결정하는 주요 요소들을 선별하여 각 결정인자의 변화정도에 따라 피난시간이 어떻게 변하는지 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 실험 시나리오의 작성을 위해 BuildingEXODUS를 사용하였고, PASW 18을 사용하여 결과값에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다.

There are many constraints, both economically and ethically that experimenting human evacuation behavior in situations such as fire. Therefore, the evacuation behavior is simulated based on the existing studies. In recent years, the foundation has been established as computer performance advances, models closer to reality can be studied. In this study, the evacuation time in the subway platform was analyzed from modeling human behavior and smoke propagation in a fire. The evacuation efficiency was also examined by dividing the shape of the subway station platform by the stair position and comparing the evacuation times for each platform. As a result, it was found that the side platform was longer than the island platform by 36.82% more time to evacuation. The shape of the stairs is most advantageous in terms of evacuation form side type platform was 210 seconds and island type platform was 186 seconds, when a fire occurs in the center of the platform. And most favorable in location of evacuation stairs were located at 2/5 point and 4/5 from depending on the step location.

This paper proposes and implements a LoRa-based emergency exit guide system which can direct the optimal refuge path accounting for the real state of the fires. Each 4-way emergency exit guide sign presents a right direction through one of four LED signs toward the possible exit dynamically calculated by the shortest path algorithm. We constructed a simulation environment with 8 spots of the emergency exit guide signs and 2 exits, which can simulate variant cases of fire accidents, and showed that the proposed algorithm can presents the right guidance for each emergency exit guide sign. We also evaluated the performances of LoRa-based wireless communications using a self developed communication module in the various indoor and outdoor environments. The proposed system can be applied to small and medium sized buildings as well as larger ones in terms of cost efficiency, in which there's no needs to invest for the complex equipments except only sensors and emergency exit guide signs.

This study investigated the development of a fire alarm system with evacuation lighting and voice alarm functions. The performance of a fire detector and system with independently built-in evacuation lighting and voice alarm functions was confirmed for early recognition of fire and to allow visibility of the evacuation route in the event of fire. This new system satisfied model recognition and product testing technological standards with 1.62 lx average illumination, 89.7 dB average sound and 86.1 dB average voice. From additionally testing the evacuation performance of this new system, it was confirmed that the evacuation time decreased by 63.08% to 67.82% under the experimental conditions compared to conventional systems. The new system can minimize fire damage by setting off voice alarms to prevent failure of fire recognition and by flashing emergency lighting to secure the minimum required visibility range for evacuation. Therefore, it is considered that it will be utilized as a fire alarm system with appropriateness and usefulness by considering people with hearing or visual impairment.

국내의 건축물의 화재안전성 평가는 화재안전성을 고려한 공간구성, 연기의 유동, 거주자의 피난계획 및 피난성능평가, 건축물 내부에 설치된 방화설비계통의 화재안전성능평가 등을 연구하여 왔다. 그런데 이들 연구의 대부분은 건축물의 공간적 특성분석과 주거여건 등을 고려한 기초자료의 파악 및 분석 등을 국내의 여건과는 상이한 국외의 자료를 근거로 하거나 2차원적인 해석 및 평가에 그치고 있는 경향이 있다. (중략)

산업 발전과 인구의 급격한 증가에 따라 건축물은 고층화 및 인텔리젼트화 되어가면서, 화재로 인한 인적·물적 손실은 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 따라서 과거보다 구체적이고 근본적인 대책의 마련이 필요하게 되었다. 현재의 소방시설의 설계는 사양중심(Prescriptive Based)의 체계로 되어 있다. 우리나라의 경우는 사양중심 체계로 되어있으나 외국에서의 공학적 도구와 연구를 바탕으로 하는 성능위주의 방화설계에 대한 연구가 시작되어 기존에 개발된 화재거동과 연기이동 및 피난의 소프트웨어를 이용하여 소방대상물의 열 분포, 연기이동, 피난특성, 발생열량 및 내화도 등을 분석함으로써 적합한 방화설계가 진행중이다.(중략)
