An Architecture for Safe Evacuation Route Recommendation in Smart Spaces

چکیده
In this paper, we treat pedestrian evacuation in emergency scenarios of networked smart spaces. Personal safety may be jeopardized due to natural catastrophes (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.) and/or adversarial actions of intentional enemies. During evacuation, the severity of emergency may increase causing partial or complete blockage of some evacuation routes. Thus, it is of the highest importance to (re)route evacuees based on updated real-time structure safety conditions. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent based architecture for dynamic route safety optimization in large smart space evacuation. The objective of the model is to ensure that the smart space network gets evacuated securely while aptly responding to unpredictable contingencies in the network safety.

A distributed architecture for real-time evacuation guidance in large smart buildings
In this paper, we consider the route coordination problem in emergency evacuation of large smart buildings. The building evacuation time is crucial in saving lives in emergency situations caused by imminent natural or man-made threats and disasters. Conventional approaches to evacuation route coordination are static and predefined. They rely on evacuation plans present only at a limited number ...

One of the necessary measures of saving human life in emergency situations, such as fires, is the safe and swift evacuation of people. The prerequisites for this are to anticipate, identify, and eliminate factors preventing people from leaving buildings in a timely and safe manner while moving them to a safe place [1]. The occurrence of errors caused by engineering, design, human, and psycholog...

In this paper, we study the agility of evacuation routes in relation to dynamically changing unpredictable hazardous conditions. Infrastructure safety conditions may unpredictably change through time. Due to unpredictability, evacuees’ safety can get jeopardized at any point of the evacuation route. Thus, it is not sufficient only to find the shortest evacuation route considering present safety...
