Abstract

Recently, a fire suddenly broke out in a crowded theater, and many people were unable to find an escape route, becoming entangled, injured, and suffocating from smoke inhalation, resulting in a large-scale fire accident. Even though most of the people were young, they were unable to evacuate. If they had been elderly, it could have resulted in greater casualties. In particular, since it is difficult to receive accurate location information from GPS indoor, there is an urgent need for location-based services using beacons and an emergency evacuation system that intuitively shows evacuation routes in augmented reality using smart-phones. In this paper, an augmented reality-based emergency evacuation smartphone app was developed based on identifying fire locations and evacuation routes using beacons and fire sensors (IoT). In the future, if the proposed system is applied to indoor spaces where people are crowded, rapid evacuation will be possible even in a sudden fire accident, minimizing human damage.

최근 사람이 많이 모이는 극장에서 갑자기 화재가 나서, 대피로를 찾지 못한 많은 사람들이 뒤엉켜 다치고 연기를 마시어 질식하는 등 대형 화재 사고가 있었다. 젊은 사람이 대부분인 상황에도 대피하지 못하였는데 만약 노약자였다면 더 큰 인명피해로 이어질 수 있었다. 특히 실내의 경우는 GPS로부터 정확한 위치정보를 전달받기 어렵기 때문에 비콘을 이용한 위치기반서비스와 직관적으로 스마트폰을 이용하여 증강현실로 대피로를 보여주는 긴급대피 시스템이 절실하게 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비콘(Beacon)과 화재센서(IoT) 이용한 화재위치 및 대피로 경로 파악을 바탕으로 하여 증강현실 기반의 긴급대피용 스마트폰 앱을 개발하였다. 향후 제안 시스템이 사람이 밀집되는 실내공간에 적용된다면 갑작스런 화재사고에서도 신속한 대피가 가능하여 인명피해를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이다.
