This paper presents a description of major principles of federated testbed for public safety communications activities, its concept, structure, objectives, and trial scenarios.
A new smart building evacuation system consisting of intelligent integration supervisory system (IISS), smart emergency indicator boards (SEIB) and fuzzy-based approach for evacuation modeling is presented. In an emergency, the IWSS can obtain the positions of disaster area from wireless sensors. Then, the system determinates safe evacuation routes using a fuzzy system to make decisions with membership...
This work introduces a dynamic model for the fire emergency evacuation problem. The model extends the concept safety introduced by Barnes et.al. for the situation when the navigation graph is dynamic. The two possible scenarios are described for using the dynamic model with a Wireless Sensor Network for fire emergency evacuation.
Emergency service vehicles need safety and fluent paths to save time. In this paper, a centralized traffic control mechanism is proposed for the evacuation of vehicles that drive toward the dedicated path of the emergency vehicles (EV), e.g. ambulance, fire engines, police cars, etc, using the dedicated short range communications (DSRC) protocol. In our proposed mechanism, a centralized server is...
Two difficult problems pertain to selection of an evacuation route according to each individual??s situation. One is constant supervision of the situation of a living space and detection of dangerous situa-tions; the other is detection of residents' respective positions. In this paper, we describe devices and systems for an indoor emergency evacuation using a mobile terminal such as a cell phone or...
