In recent years, many studies are being conducted to reduce the damage to humans in the event of a fire. In case of fire in large cities, evacuation route guidance services are provided using Mobile GIS (geographic information system). However, among the algorithms used in the existing evacuation route system, Dijkstra Algorithm has a problem that when the cost is negative, it cannot obtain an infinite loop or an accurate result value, and does not help to select an appropriate shortest route by searching all routes. For this reason, in this paper, we propose the shortest route guidance system based on A^* Algorithm. In case of fire, the shortest route is searched and the shortest route is visualized and provided using a map service on a mobile device using mobile GIS.

본 논문은 기존 기발된 재실자의 탈출 계획 및 예측 프로그램 개발에 대해 길 찾기를 위한 알고리즘으로는 Dijkstra 알고리즘, Best-First Search 알고리즘, Johnson 알고리즘 등이 있으며 가장 안정적으로 알고리즘 구현이 가능한 A*알고리즘을 적용하였다. 따라서, 본 개발 프로그램은 재실자가 대피 목적지를 향한 최적의 길 찾기를 이용하여 가장 가까운 거리에 있는 탈출구를 효율적으로 찾을 수가 있으며 재실자의 사실감 있는 대피 이동 동선의 구현을 위해 기존의 경직된 경로를 매끄럽게 구현하였다. 탈출구는 흐름율과 정체 반경을 적용하여 재실자가 탈출구에 밀집하였을 경우 병목 현상이 발생하도록 하여 대피현상이 실제 상황과 유사하도록 프로그램을 구축하였다. 본 대피프로그램은 실제 건물의 CAD도면을 import 가능하도록 구축함으로서 대피평가시간을 절약할 수 있도록 하였다.

Although studies on fire evacuation systems are increasing, studies on the evacuation of evacuees in indoor spaces are insufficient. According to the latest research, it has been suggested that the use of high frequency might be effective for identifying the location of evacuees indoors. Accordingly, in this paper, the authors intend to develop evacuation location recognition technology and fire evacuation guidance system using high-frequency and a smartphone. The entire system was developed, including an app server, evacuees location recognition unit, an evacuation route search, an output unit, and a speaker unit based on Wi-Fi communication. The experimental results proved the possibility of the effectiveness of the system in the fire situation data. It is expected that this study could be used as an essential study of a fire evacuation guidance system using high frequency data in case of fire.

Purpose: Since most disaster information systems are centered on non-disabled people, the reality is that there is a lack of disaster information delivery systems for the vulnerable, such as the disabled, the elderly, and children, who are relatively vulnerable to disasters. The purpose of the service is to improve the safety of the disabled and the elderly by eliminating blind spots of informatization and establishing customized disaster information services to respond to disasters through IoT-based integrated control technology. Method: The model at the core of this study is the disaster alert propagation model and evacuation support model, and it shall be developed by reflecting the behavioral characteristics of the disabled and the elderly in the event of a disaster. The disaster alert propagation model spreads disaster situations collected using IoT technology, and the evacuation support model uses geomagnetic field-based measuring technology to identify the user's indoor location and help the disabled and the elderly evacuate safely. Results: Demonstration model demonstration resulted in an efficient qualitative evaluation of indoor location accuracy, such as the suitability of evacuation route guidance and satisfaction of services from the user's perspective. Conclusion: Disaster information and evacuation support services were established for the safety vulnerable groups of mobile app for model verification. The disaster situation was demonstrated through experts in the related fields and the disabled by limiting it to the fire situation. It was evaluated as "satisfaction" in the adequacy of disaster information delivery and evacuation support, and its functional satisfaction and user UI were evaluated as "normal" due to the nature of the pilot model. Through this, the disaster information and evacuation support services presented in this study were evaluated to support the safety vulnerable groups to a faster disaster evacuation without missing the golden time of disaster evacuation.

Among the recent natural disasters, flood damage is concentrated in the summer, leading to casualties or property damage due to the typhoon's rainy season. Much research is being done to reduce this damage. In this paper, we design and implement a system that detects paths and provides them to users using shortest-distance algorithms in the event of such sudden flooding. The proposed system uses QGIS to detect paths using topographical data that generated tracks and pointers. In addition, other shortest paths are detected and provided to users when sudden flooding occurs during evacuation to routes detected through scenarios. Therefore, it is assumed that the proposed system will allow users to safely evacuate from the risk of future disaster safety accidents.

There are casualties due to inundation and flooding due to intensive typhoons or heavy rains in summer. Due to such damage, the biggest disaster is flood, and in order to reduce human damage, this paper proposes a shortest distance algorithm-based pedestrian path search study using Map API. This system selects Map API through comparative analysis and provides the shortest route. The route explored is in JSON format and the data of the shelter is stored in the database. The route search system designed and implemented based on this data locates pedestrians and provides evacuation routes in case of flash floods. In addition, if the route cannot be entered while moving to the evacuation route, the current location of the pedestrian is identified, the route is re-searched, and a new route is provided. Therefore, it is believed that the pedestrian route search system proposed in this paper will prevent negligent accidents.

This study set out to evaluate the fitness of shelter locations by taking into consideration service zones according to walking speed, the changing population between day and night, and walking routes. Walking speed was defined as 1.6 m/s, 2 m/s based on the cases of previous studies. The changing population between day and night was estimated with the dasymetric mapping technique. Shelter service zones according to walking speed and routes were analyzed with the network of the location allocation model. The findings show some shelters had limits with their capacity according to the changing floating population and walking speed in time and space and raise a need to appoint additional shelters.

In general, fire and evacuation simulators are used independently to diagnose the safety of building. Because this method does not reflect the movement of pedestrians considering fire spread, it is difficult to expect diagnosis of safety with high accuracy. In this study, we propose the simulation method that can describe the movement of pedestrians in the fire emergency. Our method reflects the FDS fire spread data into FFM and explains the situation in which a pedestrian recognize a fire and escapes to a safe route. This study consists of data linkage between FDS and FFM and development of improved FFM. Experiment of the proposed method is progressed using the EgresSIM. Simulation result shows that the number of evacuees on each exit is affected by the presence or absence of fire and it was confirmed that the evacuation time increase and the bottleneck phenomenon deepened by exit.

화재발생시 기존의 비상경보설비는 화재경보라는 단순한 정보만을 제공함으로서 대피자의 입장에서는 건축물의 안전상황 및 피난상황을 식별할 수 없다. 따라서 화재발생시 대피자들이 밀집되는 병목현상이나 화재 영향에 노출되어 있는 피난경로로의 대피 등은 화재 피해를 가중시키고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재 응용 가능한 대표적인 Ubiquitous 기술 중 개인의 위치를 식별하여 이용하는 위치인식기술 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)을 활용한다. RSSI를 기반으로 한 LQI(Link Quality Indication)는 무선통신기간의 거리인식을 통해 대피자 정보 시스템 정보를 획득한다. 이러한 위치정보시스템을 응용하여 개발한 화재 안전 시스템은 화재 위치를 식별하고 화재위험 지역의 상황변화를 예측하여 피난경로 선정을 위한 안전정보를 제공하여 준다.

Passenger casualties in the case of ship accidents have increased because of the increase in size and complexity of current ships (such as cruise ships). Therefore, in recent years, emergency evacuation systems are receiving increased interest so as to ensure the safety of passengers. Currently, there are only basic instructions provided, such as announcements regarding the situation, alarms, and exit signs; however, no guidance toward a proper escape route has yet been provided. To solve this problem, several emergency guiding schemes have been proposed. However, these systems ignore some of the realities of ship accidents and are impractical because various risk factors are not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal route guiding system based on an $A^*$ algorithm for emergency escape during disaster situations. This system takes into account various possible risk factors. Performance evaluation using computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme is effective and leads to safe escape routes.
