Purpose: This study aims to explore the ways to improve the security of temporary shelters in case of nuclear power plant accidents. Method: In this study, we mainly rely on the case studies on previous nuclear power plant accidents-Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island (TMI) cases. Result: The current radiation emergency response plans for nuclear power plant accidents center around the evacuation procedure. As a result, the concept of "shelter in place" has been understood as a means of assisting resident evacuation. However, based on the case studies, we find that encouraging shelter in place, rather than simply emphasizing evacuation, would help minimize unnecessary casualties, especially in case of the accidents rated greater than or equal to INES 5. To facilitate better shelter in place, we recommend utilize apartments as temporary shelters and suggest some possible improvements to ensure those apartments could be equipped with technologies for high radiation protection. Conclusion: To ensure better shelter in place, we recommend using apartments as temporary shelters, and we seek to supplement the function of apartments by using shielding, positive pressure, and sealing technologies.

Existing pedestrian and evacuation models generally seek to find locally optimal solutions for the shortest or the least time paths to exits from individual locations considering pedestrian's characteristics (eg. speed, direction, sex, age, weight and size). These models are not designed to produce globally optimal solutions that reduce the total evacuation time of the entire pedestrians in a building when all of them evacuate at the same time. In this study, we suggest a globally optimal model for indoor pedestrian evacuation to minimize the total evacuation time of occupants in a building considering different distributions of them. We used the genetic algorithm, one of meta-heuristic techniques because minimizing the total evacuation time can not be easily solved by polynomial expressions. We found near-optimal evacuation path and time by expressing varying pedestrians distributions using chromosomes and repeatedly filtering solutions. In order to express and experiment our suggested algorithm, we used CA(cellular automata)-based simulator and applied to different indoor distributions and presented the results.

In this paper, the trend of evacuation path providing or guidance systems for safety on disaster situation is analyzed. For trend analysis, 31 papers of domestic and international, 29 patents of domestic, and the finished 9 national funded projects, which have been performed for recent 15 years are analysed. As the results of analysis, the previous researches were performed in the view of the guidance systems, but there is no study that can be used for peoples in dangerous situation until now. Also it has technical limitations in using indoor positioning technology for peoples. In this paper, therefore, we propose to use the indoor positioning technology for developing a novel evacuation guidance system for peoples in dangerous situation. It can be utilized to develop a novel evacuation guidance system which is considered indoor disaster situations.

Some studies were conducted for the purpose of minimizing total clearance time for rapid evacuation from the indoor spaces when disaster occurs. Most studies took a long time to calculate the optimal evacuation route that derived minimum evacuation time. For this reason, this study proposes an evacuation route assignment algorithm that can shorten the total clearance time in a short operational time. When lots of exits are in the building, this algorithm can shorten the total clearance time by assigning the appropriate pedestrian traffic volume to each exit and balances each exit-load. The graph theory and greedy algorithm were utilized to assign pedestrian traffic volume to each exit in this study. To verify this algorithm, study used a cellular automata-based evacuation simulator and experimented various occupants distribution in a building structure. As a result, the total clearance time is reduced by using this algorithm, compared to the case of evacuating occupants to the exit within shortest distance. And it was confirmed that the operation takes a short time In a large building structure.

With emerging technologies on wireless networks and mobile computing environment, a number of researches have been carried out for ubiquitous computing. An important functional requirement of ubiquitous computing is to handle location data with ease. With the increase of accidents in large complex buildings. move attention is being paid to indoor spaces and evacuation. However, most currently used evacuation-related applications are simulation based on hypothetical data. Also, since they use non-georeferenced CAD data, it is not easy to integrate them with indoor positioning devices. With the recent progress of indoor positioning systems, the simulators can be enhanced to real-time evacuation systems. As a preliminary stage to make such systems possible, this study proposes using a georeferenced data and evacuation simulation. This study used GIS data and Cellular Automata theory an the algorithm for the movement of the evacuee.

현대 사회에서는 재난의 유형과 피해가 다양해지고 이에 따른 위험성이 증가하여 재난에 대응하기 위한 운영 및 관리의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 특히 건축물의 대형화, 복잡화로 인하여 대규모 상업시설 및 다중이용시설은 실내 구조가 복잡하기 때문에 재난 발생 시 안전한 대피 경로를 파악하여 이동하는 것이 어려운 문제가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 재난 발생 시에 대규모 시설 내에서 이용자가 안전한 대피경로를 확인하고 이동할 수 있도록 지원하기 위한 통합관제체계 구축 방안에 대해서 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 통합관제체계와 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 연계하여 재난 발생 시, 시설 이용자에게 안전한 대피경로를 안내함으로써 실내 공간에서의 대패를 지원할 수 있다.

Many pedestrian or fire evacuation models have been studied last decades for modeling evacuation behaviors or analysing building structures under emergency situations. However, currently developed models do not consider the differences of visibility of pedestrians by obstacles such as furniture, wall, etc. The visibility of pedestrians is considered one of the important factors that affect the evacuation behavior, leading to making simulation results more realistic. In order to incorporate pedestrian's visibility into evacuation simulation, we should be able to give different walking speeds according to differences of visibility. We improved the existing floor field model based on cellular automata in order to implement the visibility. Using the space syntax theory, we showed how we split the indoor spaces depending on the different visibilities created by different levels of structural depths. Then, we improved the algorithm such that pedestrians have different speeds instead of simultaneous movement to other cells. Also, in order for developing a real time simulation system integrated w ith indoor sensors later, we present a process to build a 3D simulator using a spatial DBMS. The proposed algorithm is tested using a campus building.

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.
