Therefore, for the evacuation of the elderly and the disabled safety, it is necessary to provide them with a safe and effective building as an evacuation space. Directional evacuation lights with voice and sound have been developed in Europe, the United States, Japan, and China and applied to evacuation places. This study took the signs and equipment with flash or sound guidance actually installed in elderly welfare facilities in Taiwan as an example and conducted a questionnaire survey to summarize and analyze the effectiveness of such signs and facilities as well as where improvements should be made, in order to provide elderly welfare facilities with the analysis on improvement and effectiveness of evacuation guidance equipment, which may be beneficial to the use and safety of buildings. This study found that the installation of signs and equipment with flash or sound guidance could help evacuees to accurately find out the evacuation routes. Moreover, the evacuation guidance information should be comprehensible. It was advised to complete the installation of evacuation signs and equipment in places where the elderly and disabled live as soon as possible according to the laws.","PeriodicalId":15005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fire Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75527711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the experimental population density, especially on weekdays and holidays, is very scarce for reference. In order to obtain exact experimental occupant density, six investigations and experiments have been conducted in a Carrefour supermarket on workdays and holidays. Four occupant types (male, female, elderly and child), about 154,327 customers, were separately recorded in 6 days. By analyzing the experiment data with black-box model of occupant density built in this article, we found that the proportion of female, male, elderly, and child are 52.3%, 38.4%, 5.1%, and 7.2% respectively. Proportion of child on weekdays is about 3.6% but it rapidly rises to 10.9% on holidays while the number of the elderly is relatively stable, which is about 1,200 each day. Furthermore, the average peak value of occupant density in the market at the rush hours is about 0.15 persons/m2 appearing at 16:00~20:00 on weekdays while it is about 0.32 persons/m2 emerging at 13:00~19:00 on holidays. At last, based on the experimental data, two numerical simulations on supermarket evacuation are conducted. By simulating, we find that the total evacuation time on holidays is about twice as long as that on weekdays. These data and conclusions obtained from this experiment would provide valuable reference to evacuation model, evacuation simulation, and fire protection design of market.","PeriodicalId":15005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Fire Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85671001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
