Recently luminous egress guide-lines are introduced for the fire safety of residents in the multi-use buildings such as Gosiwon. Little literature, however, on the quantitative and qualitative estimation for the egress performance of the luminous egress guide-lines can be found. This study carried out experimental investigations to evaluate the egress performance of the existing egress guide-lights and new luminous egress guide-lines. The results showed that both luminous egress guide-lines and egress guide-light satisfied the basic performance of KFI requirements. Under the 7 % smoke transmittance, however, luminous egress guide-lines showed 3 times longer visibility and less evacuation time than egress guide-lights. The evacuation density and smoke transmittance have significant effect on the evacuation time increase without the luminous egress guide-lines, however little effect with the installation.

We propose a shelter guidance system using the PLC to resolve that a conventional shelter guidance light for underground space has problems. The proposed shelter guidance system is composed of a main control part, a PLC remote control part, a charging part, a sound generation part, a display part, an alarm part and a smoke sensing part. The efficacy of the proposed system is verified by means of experimental. Experimental results are presented that show the effectiveness and the improvement of noise.

최근 우리나라에서는 대형 화재사고가 빈번히 발생함에 따라 그로 인한 재산 및 인명피해가 날로 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 건축물 내에서 화재가 발생할 경우 인명피해를 최소화하기 위하여 피난유도설비의 설치를 의무화하고 있다. 지금까지 일반적으로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 피난유도설비로는 유도등이 있으며, 최근 들어 피난유도선의 설치도 다중이용업소를 중심으로 점차 확대되어가고 있는 추세이다. 피난유도설비는 평상시 이용되는 교류 상용전원에 의해서뿐만 아니라 비상시 이용되는 직류 비상전원에 의해서도 정상적으로 작동되어야 하기 때문에, 피난유도설비의 전원장치는 주어진 전원으로부터 주어지는 교류 또는 직류를 발광부에 맞게 일정한 전압과 주파수로 변환시켜주어야 한다. 실제로 LED(발광다이오드) 유도등은 상용전원으로부터 220V의 교류를 받아서 전원장치에서 정류변환을 통해 얻어지는 낮은 전압 24V의 직류를 이용하며, 대부분의 유도등 백라이트로 사용되고 있는 CCFL(냉음극형광램프)에는 상용전원으로부터 220V, 60Hz 교류를 인가받아 전원장치에서 정류 역변환을 통해 만들어진 100kHz의 고주파 교류가 공급된다. 더욱이 유도선의 전원장치에서는 상용전원 220V, 60Hz의 교류를 인가받아 정류 역변환 및 교류변환 과정을 차례로 거쳐 최종적으로 100V, 400Hz의 교류로 전환하여 TFEL(박막전계발광) 소자로 전송하게 된다. 한편, 상용전원이 차단된 상태에서도 전원장치는 마찬가지로 비상전원으로부터 24V의 직류를 공급받아 인버터를 통해 역변환 하여 100kHz의 고주파 교류를 만들어 주거나 추가적인 교류변환을 거쳐 100V, 400Hz의 교류로 변환시켜 내보낸다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 복잡한 전력변환 회로들을 포함하고 있는 유도선의 전원장치를 개선하여, 전원장치의 연결가능길이를 기존의 60m에서 최대 100m까지 연장시킴으로써, 터널이나 지하도와 같은 곳에서 특히 경쟁력을 갖게 될 것으로 기대된다.

Government and company are unfolding greenhouse gas reduction activity to prevent the effects of global warming. Also, verification business through greenhouse gas inventory construction is spreaded variously. Greenhouse gas verification proceeds by document examination, risk analysis, field survey. Document investigates emission information, calculation standard, emission report, data management system. And through risk assessment result, establish field verification plan. Through study on risk assessment of greenhouse gas inventory verification, wish to reduce risk of verification.

As large-scale buildings, skyscrapers, and multi-purpose buildings recently increase in numbers dramatically, the internal space of such buildings becomes more and more large and complicated accordingly. Since such structures usually accommodate a number of random people, the potential possibilities of disastrous tragedies are high, and the rates of injury and physical damage caused by the complicated system of the building also increase as well. However, most of the shelter designs of the existing buildings are based on the specifications according to the assigned laws and involved regulations. In this case, only general criteria are referred to regardless of the characteristics of each structure while other disaster-related features are not taken into consideration sufficiently. Since any actual fire may cause a terrible calamity, in such plans, shelter inducement can be neither safe nor effective. Thus, this study examines and analyzes currently run disaster prevention systems and shelter inducement facilities with COEX Mall as its subject, and analyzes the responding system to each situation based on the fire scenarios by means of As-Is Model. Through this analysis, presented are the measures to solve the problems of current disaster prevention systems and to improve shelter inducement methods effectively.

It is critical that passengers should be given timely and correct escape or evacuation guidance from captain and crews when there are hazardous situations in a ship. Otherwise the consequences could be disastrous as "SEWOL Ferry" the South Korean passenger ship which sank in southern coastal area on 16th April 2014. Due to the captain's delayed evacuation decision and lack of sufficient number of crews to guide passengers' evacuation, the accident recorded many casualties, most of whom were high school students (302 passengers sank down with the ship while 172 rescued). Building a passenger ship with well-designed physical escape routes is one thing and guiding passengers to those escape routes in real disaster situation is another. Passengers get panic and move to a wrong direction, bottleneck makes situation worse, and even crews get panic also - passive static escape route signage and small number of trained crews might not be enough to take care of them. SESS (Smart Escape Support System) is being developed sponsored by South Korea Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries starting from 2016 with 4 years of roadmap. SESS comprises multiple active dynamic signage devices which communicate with real-time escape routing server software via LoRa (Long Range) proprietary wireless network.

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.

In this study, scenarios based on the leakage of highly compressed air and fire occurrence turned out to be high risks in an operation stage of CAES facility were constructed and estimated. By combining Bernoulli equation with momentum equation, an expression to calculate an impact force of a jet flow of compressed air was derived. An impact force was found to be proportional to the square of diameter of fracture and the pressure of compressed air. Four types of fire scenarios were composed to evaluate an effects that seasonal change and location of fire source have on the spread behavior of smoke. Smoke from the fire ignited in the vicinity of CAES opening descended more quickly below the limit line of breathing than one from the fire occurred 10 m away from CAES opening, which is expected to occur due to a propagation of wave front of smoke. It was shown that a rate of smoke spread of the winter fire is faster than one of the summer fire and smoke from the winter fire spreads farther than one of the summer fire, which are dependent on the direction of air flow into access opening. Evacuation simulation indicated that the required safe evacuation time(RSET) of the summer and winter fires are 262, 670 s each.
