Abstract

Nowadays, evacuation is mostly based on individual decisions, which is unreliable. This paper introduces a practical solution towards emergency evacuation by guiding people out of building efficiently. Built on wireless sensor network (WSN), our system is capable of learning and dynamically generating evacuation strategy. Distributed mechanism and backup mechanism feature the scalability and invulnerability. Simulations prove the efficiency and reliability of the system.
