Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the fire analysis and to reduce the evacuation time in high-rise building fire by using the mesh routing protocol based on ubiquitous sensor networks (USN). In this work, in order to reduce the evacuation time for a fire in a high-rise building, an evacuation guidance system is proposed by applying the mesh routing protocol to the building fire. A USN-based evacuation system can quickly detect a fire’s origin, optimal path of evacuation involved with the exits and evacuation lights, and the location of evacuees using information collected by the USN system. The results of the adaptive evacuation guidance system from the network simulation showed better performance than the conventional routing method with connected by tree structure.
