Under the Korean Enforcement Decree of the Building Act, all high story apartment houses more than 5 stories high are mandated to install a fire evacuation system to ensure safe evacuation from fire accidents and providing quick and easy bidirectional escape route when main entrance is blocked by flame or toxic smoke. However, the current fire evacuation system shows a lack of understanding from residents and thus is widely ignored for having insufficient safety functions, especially vis-à-vis fire emergencies. Studies have found that an alternative evacuation method, the escapable fire evacuation system, has been analyzed for safety evaluation compared with the conventional passive fire escape system and can bring efficient and safer solutions, providing high rise residents escape from fire accidents. Evaluation for safety evacuation has been performed by the Fire Dynamics Simulation and applying Pathfinder simulation. This resulted in providing appropriate escape routes within the safety escape time and allowed for people in high rise building fires to get to safety.

In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, safety of disasters is being emphasized above all else, and electric fires are most frequent during disasters, and human and property damage is very serious. In this paper, we propose a study that can determine the efficiency of evacuation and non-evacuation guidance due to the large difference in casualties depending on the traffic line in the case of fire. Evacuation guidance was assumed to be a situation in which adequate evacuation routes were guided by a recorded voice or a trained staff, and non-evacuation guidance was assumed to be a situation without anything. Evacuation simulations were carried out using a evacuation simulation tool called PATHFINDER and SIMULEX for the analysis of the efficiency of evacuation and non-evacuation guidance. As a result, the evacuation time was similar, but in the case of non-evacuation guidance, it was not guided to the safe zone, which could cause serious damage.

최근 실내 공간에서의 재난, 화재와 테러 등 대피상황을 재현하여 이를 가시화하기 위한 연구가 주목 받고 있으며, 실내 공간에 대한 모델을 설계하고 인명 안전 평가를 통한 신뢰성 있는 분석이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실제적인 건물 화재 위험 요인을 고려하여 피난 안전성 분석과 피난 경로 안내가 가능한 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 인천터미널역 역사를 대상으로 3차원 화재 및 피난 모델을 설계하고, 실내 내장재의 재질을 바탕으로 열 매개변수와 화재 인지 장치를 이용하여 화재 위험 분석을 수행하였다. 둘째, 인명안전을 위한 평가에 있어 화재 시뮬레이션인 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)와 피난 시뮬레이션을 통해 재실자가 인체에 손상 없이 견딜 수 있는 피난허용시간(ASET: Available Safe Egress Time)을 산출하였다. 또한 화재를 감지하고 안전한 장소까지 완전하게 피난하는데 소요되는 피난요구시간(RSET: Required Safe Egress Time)을 계산하고 이를 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 연구대상의 3차원 공간적인 정보를 기반으로 한 실내 공간 모델과, 고시된 안전기준을 반영한 열차 내 화재 및 피난 위험도 측정 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해 보다 실제적인 안전성 평가를 수행 할 수 있었다.

Sometimes, an evacuation should be executed from a ship for many reasons. This study considers on emergency evacuation on fire in a ship, one of the many reasons for evacuation. Due to the characteristic of fire, the most loss of life is known to be caused by suffocation resulted by smoke. To reduce the suffocation by smoke, the time available for evacuation should be improved for the higher survival rate of crews. In this study, crews' survival times and Evacuation time are analyzed quantitatively in during fire in the same sealed space in two different cases of the natural ventilation and the forced ventilation.

For safe evacuation in the fire disaster, the evacuees must find the exit and evacuate quickly. Especially, if the evacuees don't know the location of the exit, they have to depend on the evacuation guidance system. Because the more smoke spread, the less visibility is decreasing, it is difficult to find the way to the exit by the naked eye. For theses reasons, the evacuation guidance system is highly important. However, the evacuation guidance system without change of direction has the risk that introduce to the dangerous area. In the evacuation safety assessment scenario by the evacuation simulation has the same problem. Because the evacuee in the simulation evacuate by the shortest route to the exit, the simulation result is same like the evacuation without the evacuation guidance system. In this study, it was used with MAS (Multi Agent System)-based simulation program including the evacuation guidance system to implement the change of evacuation by fire. Using this method, confidence of evacuation safety assessment can be increase.

In case of fire in the buildings, the appropriate and safe evacuation plans for the building residents are very important to minimize the number of casualties. Since the evacuation time usually depends on the stairs and passages of design of the building, the evacuation plans should be considered while the architectural design is done. Conventionally, the calculation of the evacuation time in the case of fire breakout is based on the approximate mathematical equations which are prone to error. In this study, the simulation software is developed to help the architectural designers to access the more accurate evacuation time and find out the floor plans which offers the most sage evacuation plans for the residents in case of fire.

It has been determined that two-way evacuation routes that connect houses to evacuation sites should be developed to protect residents of historic preservation areas from future disasters. These routes are required because traditional buildings and other historic spatial elements are located close to each other. It is important to understand residents' perceptions of evacuation routes that connect their houses to temporary safe places to develop evacuation system strategies that include effective two-way evacuation routes. This paper describes a procedure used to construct a two-way evacuation route database designed to preserve two study areas that was based on an interview survey conducted with area residents. The resulting database contained residents' perceptions of evacuation routes. The database contains categorized spatial problems related to these routes that can be used for future research.

지하철과 같은 지하공간에서 재난이 발생할 경우, 신속하게 안전한 대피 경로로 승객을 유도하여 인명피해를 최소화 하여야 한다. 이를 위해서 빠르게 재난을 감지하고 중앙관리센터에서 신속한 대응이 이루어지지 않는 경우에 자율적으로 의사결정을 할 수 있는 분산형 방재 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 재난 발생 시 신속한 승객 대피를 위한 피난 동선을 생성하고 최적 피난 경로를 제공하기 위한 피난 경로 분석 및 유도 알고리즘을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to present the possibility of adopting beacons to implement the fire evacuation guidance system in order to reduce the evacuation time for a fire in complex buildings. A beacon-based evacuation system can quickly detect a fire's origin, optimal path of evacuation involved with the exits and the location of evacuees using information collected by the proposed system. The assessment is conducted by integrating different scenario models including fire simulation. Based on the research result, beacon is an effective tool to warn potential hazards or to provide early detection and a safe escape.

In modern society, buildings are becoming more complex, and the population is becoming more densely populated. Such large buildings require a variety of evacuation measures, as there is a high possibility of large-scale human casualties due to increased evacuation distance and evacuation time in the event of a fire. Strobe light and exit sign light are used as important evacuation equipment to provide early warning and evacuation directions. In this thesis, we conducted a fire simulation assuming that a fire occurrence point notification function and a strobe light function were added to equipment such as visual alarms and evacuation guidance, and compared and analyzed the difference in evacuation completion time with existing equipment. The scenarios for the simulation were divided into "general fire situations" and "fire location and evacuation exit guidance situation" and the differences in evacuation completion time in the event of a fire were compared and analyzed for each floor from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. The maximum travel distance to complete evacuation in the case of a fire on the first floor decreased by 80.6 m and the evacuation completion time decreased by 329.4 seconds, and the maximum travel distance to complete evacuation in the case of a second-floor fire decreased by 28.5 m and the evacuation completion time by 438.8 seconds. During the fire on the third floor, the maximum distance decreased until evacuation was completed to 3.4 m, and the evacuation completion time was reduced by 355.6 seconds. It is expected that if the congestion level of evacuation routes is reduced by utilizing the congestion level of evacuation exits when fire alarm systems and evacuation equipment are activated, the evacuation completion time will be further shortened and evacuations will be carried out quickly and safely.
