As multiplex theaters are increasing rapidly in number, concerns over the evacuation process in case of fire emergency are also increasing. The study investigates the users' awareness and recognition of evacuation route by the method of questionnaire, and analyzes the users' behavior in choosing the route by the simulation program called Simulex. Among others, findings indicate a vast majority of the users are unaware of the proper route in the emergency, yet anticipate to evacuate by it, instead of the entry/exit route that they are familiar with. This aspect, however, can be useful to provide the proper route of evacuation for the users, if an appropriate information is given that the entry/exit route is also used as an emergency egress. The simulation shows heavy congestion at the closer evacuation route from the exit, and distinctly less traffic at the farther means of egress. Based on this natural phenomenon, it is suggested that the emergency stair should be nearby and aligned with the exit from auditorium. Although the present building regulation only requires a minimum dimension at each route, there is a need to widen the passageway that is likely to be recognized easily and subsequently overcrowded in case of fire emergency.

This study compared evacuation effectiveness between the conventional school floor plan and a suggested hypothetical floor plan that was generated by a mathematical model that is commonly applied in the field of industrial engineering. Recent school buildings became much more complicated in floor planning due to the new educational system and modern curriculum than the old days. Nevertheless, architect's approach to floor composition in terms of fire emergency evacuation planning, still has no relation to optimized effective but relies more on a conventional school planning. Therefore, since elementary school buildings are much more likely to be exposed to any fire related events than middle school or high-school, emergency exit effectiveness based on spatial composition has to be seriously evaluated with a scientific method. The algorithm, which acquires the number of persons in each spatial type (node) per floor and the minimum physical distance between spatial types (arc), can propose the most optimized spatial compositing per floor regarding emergency evacuation event. Consequently, this study evaluated elementary school's fire exit effectiveness with the scientific tool and suggested the most reliable spatial composition per floor regarding possibile emergency evacuation event.

Geospatial research on emergency response in multi-level micro-spatial environments (e.g., multi-story buildings) that aims at understanding and analyzing human movements at the micro level has increased considerably since 9/11. Past research has shown that reducing the time rescuers needed to reach a disaster site within a building (e.g., a particular room) can have a significant impact on evacuation and rescue outcomes in this kind of disaster situations. With the purpose developing emergency response systems that are capable of using complex real-time geospatial information to generate fast-changing scenarios, this study develops a Spatiotemporal Optimal Route Algorithm (SORA) for guiding rescuers to move quickly from various entrances of a building to the disaster site (room) within the building. It identifies the optimal route and building evacuation bottlenecks within the network in real-time emergency situations. It is integrated with a Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) based tracking system in order to monitor dynamic geospatial entities, including the dynamic capacities and flow rates of hallways per time period. Because of the limited scope of this study, the simulated data were used to implement the SORA and evaluate its effectiveness for performing 3D topological analysis. The study shows that capabilities to take into account detailed dynamic geospatial data about emergency situations, including changes in evacuation status over time, are essential for emergency response systems.

과거 수년간 엘리베이터를 이용한 피난은 지속적인 논쟁의 대상이었으며, 일반적으로 대부분의 국가에서는 화재 시 엘리베이터의 이용을 금지하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 WTC 사고 이후 초고층건물에서 엘리베이터를 이용한 피난대책이 계획되고, 일부는 채택되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구는 초고층 건물에서 엘리베이터를 이용한 피난이 얼마나 피난시간을 단축하는 지에 대하여 실제 건물 설계 사례를 중심으로 연구해 보고자 한다.

Fire safety management on any construction site should start with recognizing fire risks in the workplace, understanding the extent of the risks, and proper assessment of the controls necessary to reduce the risks. However, the most important step to prevent fire-related accidents on jobsites is the constant review and monitoring of processes and controls by all individuals involved. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of using computer simulation as an addition to maps or floor plans in safety training and management. Simulex was used on a real project to model various egress routes and to identify potential problem areas of the evacuation strategy. This study highlights the efficacy of simulated emergency evacuation as a training tool that visually shows constantly altering means of egress.

For construction projects it is imperative that site management gives the highest priority to planning safe site evacuation for all foreseeable emergencies, including earthquakes and typhoons which are often experienced in Japan. This is especially important and even more critical for high risk projects involving underground works, such as Tunneling & Pneumatic Caissons. Based on the safety regulation of underground works, a back-up power supply system must be provided during the construction period at all times. Often, fluorescent lamps with re-chargeable batteries are provided for infrequent emergency cases, however these have a questionable useable life span and thus need careful maintenance and periodical replacement. In this paper we focused on using the phosphorescence materials to indicate the evacuation direction. As a result, it was confirmed that the phosphorescence materials were considered useful in reducing panic and facilitating a controlled evacuation in the event of a total black-out due to power failure.

Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) can provide decision-makers with a likelihood to implement evacuation of a population with radiation exposure risk by a nuclear power plant. Thus, the ETE is essential for developing an emergency response preparedness. However, studies on ETE have not been conducted adequately in Korea to date. In this study, different cohorts were selected based on assumptions. Existing local data were collected to construct a multi-model network by TSIS-CORSIM code. Furthermore, several links were aggregated to make simple calculations, and post-processing was conducted for dealing with the stochastic property of TSIS-CORSIM. The average speed of each cohort was calculated by the link aggregation and post-processing, and the evacuation time was estimated. As a result, the average cohort-based evacuation time was estimated as 2.4-6.8 h, and the average clearance time from ten simulations in 26 km was calculated as 27.3 h. Through this study, uncertainty factors to ETE results, such as classifying cohorts, degree of model complexity, traffic volume outside of the network, were identified. Various studies related to these factors will be needed to improve ETE's methodology and obtain the reliability of ETE results.

연구목적: 본 연구는 항공기 내 비상상황 발생 시 승객 이동 및 대피의 효율성에 대하여 실험적 방법을 통해 알아보고자 수행되었다. 연구방법: 실험은 3가지 상황 시나리오와 반복 수행을 포함 총 4회 진행되었다. 3가지 상황은 수화물이 없는 상태의 대피, 휴대수화물 소지 대피, 휴대 수화물 및 캐리어 소지 대피였다. 실험은 기록된 영상을 기반으로 시간을 측정하였다. 연구결과: 총 대피소요시간은 아무것도 소지하지 않은 상황에서의 대피결과에 비하여 휴대수화물의 반출은 약 1.5배, 휴대수화물과 캐리어 3개가 반출되는 실험의 결과는 약 3.5배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 피난시뮬레이션을 적용해본 결과 실험 결과와 차이가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 캐리어 반출 및 이동 등의 복잡한 상황의 고려는 좀 더 기술적으로 연구해보아야 할 상황으로 판단된다. 결론: 휴대수화물 및 캐리어 소지가 대피에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 정량적으로 판단할 수 있는 근거자료를 확보하였다.

세계적으로 지진, 해일, 홍수, 폭설 등의 자연 재해와 화재, 방화, 테러 등의 인위적 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 다양하고 예측 불가능한 재해로 인해 다수의 사상자가 발생하고 있다. 재해 발생 시 빠른 시간에 재해 발생 여부를 파악하여 재해 발생 위치와 적절한 피난 경로 등의 정보를 피해자에게 제공한다면 신속히 안전한 장소로 대피가 가능하여 피해를 최소화 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실내공간에서 공황상태가 발생 했을 경우 사람들의 움직임을 파악하여 긴급 재해 발생 여부를 신속히 탐지하고 이를 통해 상황에 따라 신속하고 안전하게 대피가 가능하도록 긴급 피난 지원 시스템의 알고리즘을 제안하고 구현하였다. 이동 단말기에서는 실내 보행자의 행동과 위치를 분석하여 서버로 전송하고 서버에서는 전송받은 정보를 토대로 긴급상황 여부를 판단한다. 긴급상황이 발생하면 서버는 이동 단말기에게 이를 통보하고, 실내 보행자는 이동단말기를 이용하여 비상탈출을 실시하게 된다.
