Integrating Sensing and Routing for Indoor Evacuation

Abstract

Indoor evacuation systems are needed for rescue and safety management. A particular challenge is real-time evacuation route planning for the trapped people. In this paper, an integrated model is proposed for indoor evacuation used on mobile phones. With the purpose of employing real-time sensor data as references for evacuation route calculation, this paper makes an attempt to convert sensor systems to sensor graphs and associate these sensor graphs with route graph. Based on the integration of sensing and routing, sensor tracking and risk aware evacuation routes are generated dynamically for evacuees. Experiments of the proposed model are illustrated in the paper. The benefit of the integra..
