  • It would be very important to localize people at risk as soon as possible in order to minimize the damage. Generally the infrastructure should be deployed additionally for indoor positioning system. In this paper, we proposed an indoor localization system for people at risk using the existing fire alarm networks. The system detects the signal of smart devices of people in danger immediately and let the main alarm controller ring all alarms in vessel and display the position. Thus, the proposed system can make the burden much less to deploy additional network and infrastructure.

  • Flame detectors has been used more than heat & smoke detector, because this is more effective to catch fire and ceiling height in spite of high price. For upgrade to flame detector, Compare to national or abroad standard about performance test, sensitivity test, sectioning indoor or outdoor, after service and management. As a result, Europe and America have only sensitivity test, no have not operation test and sectioning indoor & outdoor. In performance test, action is put to focus to credit and durability, Not operation test is to be able to tune the sensitivity to match the environment of the site. Also, we need code about aftercare, quality assurance responsibility and implement special detector institution by Certificate Authority implement.

  • 화재 현장에 투입된 소방대원들은 각종 위험한 환경에 장시간 노출된 상태로 활동을 하고 있으며 또한 열과 연기 등으로 인하여 시야 확보가 매우 어렵고 장시간 화재 진압 및 구조 활동으로 인하여 급격한 체력 저하로 야기되는 소방대원의 인명 피해가 발생되고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 이러한 인명 피해를 막기 위하여 투입된 소방대원의 위치 추적 및 상태 등을 확인하여 만약에 고립된 소방대원이 있을 경우 안전하게 탈출 할 수 있는 실내 측위 및 추적 기술에 대하여 연구한다.

  • In this study, we tried to examine how the kinking of the fire hose affects the time taken for initial water discharge by measuring and analyzing the time taken for initial water discharge with different number of kinks at different locations of the hose. The average time taken for initial water discharge was obtained by measuring the time in the unkinked state of the fire hose. Based on this standard, we conducted the experiment by selecting the kinking locations in the hose near the water outlet and nozzle, and setting the number of kinks to 3, 6, 9, and 12. The results of this study are as follows: First, if the fire hose has 5 kinks or more near the nozzle, no water was released. Second, when comparing the case of no kinks and 4 kinks near the nozzle, there was no significant difference in the time taken for initial water discharge. Third, when the fire hose was kinked 10 times near the outlet, the time required for initial water discharge increased by 1.62 seconds on average compared to the case with no kinking, but there was no problem with water discharge. Lastly, regarding the kinking locations of the fire hose, it was found that the greater the number of kinks near the nozzle than near the outlet, the greater the effect on the discharge. As a result, it is concluded that it would be preferable to install non-kinking devices near the nozzle of the fire hose.

  • This study in focused on proposing the improvement plans for refuge and fire-fighting facilities in large shopping malls that are radically spreading. The main subjects are as follows. - The refuge measure for large shopping malls - Problems of installing the refuge facilities in stores and the solutions - Problems of installing the incendiary facilities in stores and the solutions - Problems of installing the indoor fire plug in stores and the solutions As result of the study, it has turned out that escape stairs which are set up according to the standard of size in the process of design plan, have to be decided for their amount, position, specification, etc, in consideration of the number of residents. It is also required to tighten a standard of installing a sprinkler instead of lightening the fire-fighting section in stores, considering obstacles due to facilities installed and procurement of the escape path. In addition, it needs to lighten a standard of installing the indoor fire plug, which is voluntarily set up at the store section incase of installing a sprinkler to make a practical fire-fighting facility available.

  • It is very dongerous for ship‘s fire which occurs from navigating because of it will not be able to expect fire fighting from land so that handle with the oneself to control. Additionally, in the case of passenger ship is more serious for the reason of not only the property damage but also large life accident can be occurred continuously. When the fire occurs, the many smoke to occur simultaneously as well as the heat from combustion process and the poisonous smoke is brought the life damage as the death from suffocation The purpose of this study is to examine the smoke movement characteristics in the ship's indoor spaces with fire size and location An experimental study was carried out with two sized of fires and three typed of fire source locations. As the results, the smoke and heat diffusion characteristics Ms been showed the most quick rise curve in the case of comer type fire.

  • A variety of methods for indoor positioning systems have been underway to ensure the safety of emergency rescuers who are working in dangerous situations such as fire fighters. However, since most systems display locations of rescue workers in two-dimension (2D)-based maps, it is difficult for a commander located in the outside to recognize locations of rescuers inside the building intuitively. An augmented reality (AR)-based indoor positioning monitoring system can display locations of rescuer inside the building that can be seen by commanders to help intuitive recognition of positioning. To monitor AR-based indoor positioning, it is necessary to have an estimation technique of line of sight vector of observers. In the present study, an estimation technique of a line of sight vector using ultra-wide band tranceiver installed inside the indoor to trace locations is presented.

  • To determine if water-jet nozzle moves and water jetting are effective according to the location of the fire, this study examined the automatic fire-tracking water cannon system and aan indoor hydrant system, such as water jet centered directivity, water jet range maintainability and water jet shape uniformity. First, an examination to find the center of fire accurately from this system design showed that the water jet centered test was accurate. Second, the water jet range test results showed that when water is jetted at the maximum water jet radius, the water jet shows an inaccurate result but within the allowable tolerance range. Finally, the water-jet shape test result confirmed that there are no problems in setting the block from the algorithm design.
