A study of robot-based context-aware fire escape service model

Abstract

Most of buildings in modern society become bigger and higher, the fire can cause serious damage in such as a large and complex building. Because of this, escape environment is very important when the fire occurs in the building. This paper suggests Robot-based Context-Aware Fire Escape Service Model that can provide optimal escape routes considering fire information and context to user through user's smart phone with real time. The service model provides safe escape routes to user who did not find an escape route from disaster situation through smart phone and robot. In addition, the service model can expect rapid fire suppression and minimal expected casualty by teaching the present information in building to the rescue party. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
