The path search be applied algorithm for spread of flame and smoke in fire simulation

Abstract

Fire is one of the disasters that often occur in everyday life. There has been much research done to build a fire Simulator. In this paper, we propose a fire Simulator that is applied optimal path search algorithm to arrange the quick evacuation. This simulator considers the structure of a building and the location where the fire has initially occurred, applying it to the simulator. Especially when implementing the training simulation for firefighters, optimized evacuation path for the required virtual rescuer awaiting rescue was informed to implement more realistic firefighting training simulator. For the simulation for the test, fixed data was set to apply the shortest path search algorithm and flame smoke spread algorithm. As a result of the test, the optimized path was derived through avoiding the flame occurred from flame smoke spread algorithm and following the shortest path search algorithm. © 2014 SERSC.
