Summary of Intelligent Guidance System for Fire Emergency Evacuation in Large Buildings

With the continuous development of the social economy and the deepening of urbanization, large buildings are increasing, and disaster risks associated with large buildings, such as fire risks, are also increasing. Because of large buildings, such as shopping malls, business offices, transportation hubs buildings, high-rise commercial buildings are often crowded, it is essential in reducing fire casualties to guide people effectively in the buildings through the escape corridors, and to evacuate in a timely, rapid and efficient manner in the event of a fire. Therefore, in order to fully protect the safety of life and property, it is necessary to establish a fire protection intelligent guidance system. The research of intelligent guidance system for fire emergency evacuation in large buildings at home and abroad was reviewed in this paper. Three key problems of the fire detection, the evacuation path planning and the evacuation guidance design are presented. The development trend of the intelligent guidance system for fire emergency evacuation is discussed from two aspects, namely, the evacuation path planning methods and the guidance system hardware research.
