When a fire occurs in a large-scale or complicated facility there is a possibility of large-scale loss of life if there is no information on the location of fire and the location of emergency exits for people to take shelter. Consequently, the fire or disaster prevention system and the shelter course guidance system that optimally guides the shelter course are necessary to reduce the loss of life. This paper proposes a shelter course guidance system using a sensor network to reduce the loss of life in a building where a fire occurs. The experimental result of this research shows that the shelter course guidance system provides the optimum shelter course to people in infrastructure when a fire occurs.

This paper presents a novel algorithm for searching evacuation paths in indoor disaster environments. The proposed method significantly improves the time complexity to find the paths to the evacuation exit by introducing a light-weight Disaster Evacuation Graph (DEG) for a building in terms of the size of the graph. With the DEG, the method also considers load balancing and bottleneck capacity of the paths to the evacuation exit simultaneously. The behavior of the algorithm consists of two phases: horizontal tiering (HT) and vertical tiering (VT). The HT phase finds a possible optimal path from anywhere of a specific floor to the evacuation stairs of the floor. Thus, after finishing the HT phases of all floors in parallel the VT phase begins to integrate all results from the previous HT phases to determine a evacuation path from anywhere of a floor to the safety zone of the building that could be the entrance or the roof of the building. It should be noted that the path produced by the algorithm. And, in order to define the range of graph to process, tiering scheme is used. In order to test the performance of the method, computing times and evacuation times are compared to the existing path searching algorithms. The result shows the proposed method is better than the existing algorithms in terms of the computing time and evacuation time. It is useful in a large-scale building to find the evacuation routes for evacuees quickly.

다중 이용시설, 학교, 주택 등 사람이 많이 이용하는 곳은 화재 발생 빈도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 대피하기가 어렵고, 기존의 비상등 표시 방법, 일회성 대피 안내 등으로 인해 화재 상황의 다양한 변수에 효과적으로 대처하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 트윈(Digital Twin) 기술을 기반으로 다양한 센서를 통해 인식된 화재 요소를 반영한 화재 대응 및 피난 시뮬레이션(Fire Dynamic Simulator & Pathfinder)을 통해 안전한 대피 경로를 도출하여 안내하는 시스템을 설계한다. 제시하는 방법은 화재 상황에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해 실시간 인원변동 및 변화하는 화재변수에 대비 할 수 있으며, 상황에 따른 적극적인 대피 훈련과 실제 상황에서의 긴급한 상황에서의 대피경로 도출과 안내에 활용할 수 있다.

Civil defense evacuation facilities currently installed in our country are necessary to survey the operating status. The purpose of this study is to survey on the current facility for civil defense evacuation facilities equipment, management, and problem analysis, research and to build a facility model of the standard formulation through the analysis on the actual condition of the civil defense evacuation facility. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the civil defense evacuation facilities are most in Seoul. Second, civil defense evacuation facilities proved to be checked periodically without a systematic management. Many facilities do not have communication facilities appear to be evacuated in an emergency situation is expected to have difficulty in contact with the outside world. Fourth, the old civil defense evacuation facilities are in the center of the metropolitan area.

It is necessary to establish guidelines when we selecting the civil defense evacuation facilities through quantitative analysis by civil defense evacuation facilities volume. The purpose of this study is to evaluate according to population density and distribution of the capacity of evacuation facilities. The results of this study are as follows. First, it is necessary to consider the capacity of evacuation facilities in order to set up the exact districts of civil defense evacuation facilities. Second, basic data based on to compare the condition of civil defense evacuation facilities is produced by an analysis on evacuation status of the target region. Third, it is proved to consider topographical conditions which do not move the shortest distance. Fourth, in order to create a realistic model, it is necessary to consider the model set various parameters.

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.

There is a lot of loss of life due to natural disasters. In particular, flood damage caused by heavy rainfall in urban areas causes serious damage. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a study on the optimal evacuation route for safe evacuation of urban areas. We set up a methodology by reviewing Flo-2D model and A* algorithm. A Flo-2D model was used to derive the hazardous area, and we selected the starting points with many people and suggested ways to select safe evacuation sites. And the route was derived from the starting point to the safe evacuation point by using the A * algorithm. This study could be used not only for evacuation route but also for road maintenance and evacuation facilities.

The purpose of this study is to minimize damage of chemical accidents through the appropriation analysis of evacuation facility position focused on Ulsan metropolitan city. For analysis, informations such as pollutant release and transfer registers(PRTR), population census, and evacuation facilities were used. After then, damage assessment of chemical accidents, accessibility and appropriation of evacuation facilities were analyzed. Damage of chemical accidents is high in around 5km of industrial complex there is dense of chemical facility and population. Evacuation facilities were mainly situated in hazard area of chemical accidents, but accessibility of evacuation facilities was vulnerable in chemical plant neighborhood. Therefore, safety check of deteriorated plants is important for prevention of chemical accidents. Also, effective evacuation plan considering capacity and scale of evacuation facilities will be established.

재해, 재난 발생 시에 구조대가 건물 내부나 지하철 등, 특정 구역 내의 대피하지 못한 잔류인원을 제대로 파악하데 어려움을 겪는다. 이를 개선하고자 YOLO와 DeepSORT를 활용하여 통행자를 인식하여 특정 구역의 잔류인원을 파악하고 이를 서버를 통해 확인할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실시간 객체인식 알고리즘인 YOLOv4-tiny와 실시간 객체추적기술인 DeepSORT 알고리즘을 이용하여 제안한 방법을 Ubuntu환경에서 구현하고, 실내 상황에 맞춰 통행자 동선을 고려해서 적용하였다. 개발한 시스템은 인식된 통행자 객체방향으로 출입을 구분하여 데이터를 서버에 저장한다. 이에 따라 재해 발생 시 구역의 잔류인원을 파악하여 빠르고 효율적으로 요구조자 위치와 인원을 예측할 수 있다.

기후변화로 인해 집중호우, 돌발 홍수 및 태풍의 규모가 대형화되고 있고, 이에 따른 수재해 피해 사례도 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 건설 현장 중 굴착공사 현장에서의 침수로 인한 사고는 인명피해로 이어질 가능성이 더 크기 때문에 더욱 주의가 필요하다. 하지만 현재 국내에서 실질적으로 굴착현장에 적용하기 위한 침수 대응 예측 시스템 및 구체적인 침수 예경보 체계, 기준, 매뉴얼은 존재하지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굴착공사현장의 수재해 예방을 위한 침수 예·경보 시스템의 적용방안을 제시하였다. 또한 경제적이고 효과적인 측면을 고려하여, 공사현장 규모에 따라 적용하는 침수 예·경보 시스템을 이분화하여 소규모 공사현장에는 Track A, 대규모 공사현장에는 Track B 침수 예·경보 시스템을 적용하도록 제안하였다. 이러한 이유는 소규모 공사현장의 특성상 전체 공사비가 작고 운영되는 장비와 인력이 제한적이므로 침수 예·경보에 필요한 비용과 인력 투입이 어려울 수 있기 때문이며, 또한 대피가 필요한 전체 인원이 대규모 현장에 비해서는 적기 때문에 비교적 신속하고 원활한 대피가 가능할 것이라고 판단하였기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 각 시스템별 적절하다고 판단되는 예·경보 기준을 제시하였다. Track A에서는 강우법에 의한 최소한의 경보시스템으로 필요한 안전목표를 달성할 수 있도록 고려하였고, Track B에서는 현장인원 대부분이 성인 남성임을 고려하여, 성인 남성의 부상을 유발할 수 있는 수심(H)과 유속(V)의 곱을 척도로 하는 한계 H·V곡선을 기준으로 운영되는 경보시스템을 제안하였다.
