Designing a wireless system for directive evacuation control
When developing alert and evacuation management systems (AEMS) for evacuating people out of buildings, engineers and researchers assume that directive evacuation management constitutes a key aspect of such a system, and allows to reduce evacuation time, as well as to minimise the damage to the property, and what is more important - to the people’s health. This article treats the development of an evacuation management system involving the system approach, modern information and microprocessor technologies, as well as computer modelling of evacuation aimed at forecasting the system performance results. For the purpose of this research, the AEMS of the fifth type has been developed. It has been found that the system feedback in combination with directive management allow to efficiently impact the AEMS components, which - if distributed systems for big data processing are connected- offers a module to assist decision-making, as well as automated management for the whole system. As such, directive management for the wireless AEMS expands its functionality and provides the information critical for decision-making, as well as supplies the rescue teams with the relevant data in emergency situation.
