Emergency management systems are Cyber-Physical-Human Systems (CPHS) that use sensing, together with communications and control, to guide humans and physical systems such as vehicles, towards safe desirable outcomes in the shortest possible time. When human health and safety, and lives also, are at stake, it is important to take decisions in real-time with the best possible use of resources, including...
This paper explores the idea of smart building evacuation when evacuees can belong to different categories with respect to their ability to move and their health conditions. This leads to new algorithms that use the Cognitive Packet Network concept to tailor different quality of service needs to different evacuees. These ideas are implemented in a simulated environment and evaluated with regard to...
Static evacuation plans for buildings are generally designed to perform optimally when the building is at full capacity. We present a dynamic evacuation guidance system which does this regardless of the number of evacuees, by tailoring a flow-optimal evacuation plan to the current situation. The system assigns routes using a capacity-constrained routing algorithm which anticipates evolutions in path...
