A Fuzzy-Based Approach for Smart Building Evacuation Modeling

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 functions for changing the direction of SEIBs. The experiments demonstrate the proposed method is valid for evacuation routing and efficient emergency navigation of smart building automation.
