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.

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.

Exiting systems are essential to prevent casualties in case of fire. However, existing guidance systems are lack of flexibility because their functionalities are fixed when they are planned. In this paper, a system is introduced which guides evacuees in realtime by processing data it gathers throughout various sensors in realtime. It is planned and designed to aid quick and efficient evacuation, and produced, installed and tested in an underground space to show its feasibility. In building the system, ubiquitous techniques are employed for its sensor network and evacuee positioning in an attempt to make it cheap and extendable.

This study is intended to examine the effect of photoluminescent exit path markings in the event of failure of both the power and back-up power to the lighting and illuminated exit sign. To achieve the purpose, the test house was exhibited in Fire EXPO '05. 520 visitors were examined from May 26-29, 2005. The results of this study are as follows; The evacuation from buildings in dark conditions showed that 70% of men and 72% of women were crawled along the wall. Meanwhile, 88% of men and 83% of women were evacuated with ordinary walking in photoluminescent exit path markings. The photoluminescent exit path markings located on public buildings floors will aid in evacuation from buildings in the event of failure of the power to the lightings and illuminated exit signs.

The purpose of this research is to investigate consciousness for the effect of evacuation guidance in case of ship blackout condition evacuation. As a research result, 74.3% of respondents answered that evacuation guidance is strongly helpful in the event of ship blackout condition.

This study is intended to examine the effect of photoluminescent exit signs in the event of failure of both the power to the lighting and illuminated exit sign. To achieve the purpose, the test house was exhibited in Fire EXPO '05. 520 visitors were examined from May 26-29, 2005. The results of this study are as follows; The evacuation from buildings in dark conditions showed that $70\%$ of men and $72\%$ of women were crawled along the wall. Meanwhile, $88\%$ of men and $83\%$ of women were evacuated with ordinary walking in photoluminescent exit signs. The egress time was shortened from 53 seconds to 64 seconds in accordance with age, height and visual power. The photoluminescent exit signs located on public buildings floors will aid in evacuation from buildings in the event of failure of the power to the lightings and illuminated exit signs.

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.

In correctional facilities with majority of occupants in custody, the safe evacuation guide without getaway accidents should be very important due to complexity in escape paths. Fire causes are various in correctional facilities, for example, arson fire is a major cause in mental treatment facilities, however, old facilities or carelessness of flammable materials consist of fire causes in jail facilities. Both types of correctional facilities are the same in terms of many casualties from the fire cases. The thesis focus on escape paths and evacuation guide plans on the basis of analysis on fire cases and structural vulnerability, and then an electronic unlocking system is concededly installed for safe evacuation of occupants in custody without getaway accidents. Especially, the effect of the electronic unlocking system is going to be analyzed on the basis of RSET (required safe egress time) in order to realize for the occupants to evacuate safely to the front yard in case of emergency. In conclusion, if electronic security allowed system with USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Networks) technology should be installed in multi-storey correctional buildings, it is proposed that the occupants in custody might be a guided safely without getaway trials.
