Abstract
As the material needs of modern society expand, urbanization continues and building technologies develop rapidly, large-scale modern urban buildings (e.g., mega retail store, office building, gymnasium) emerge. When a disaster occurs, how occupants in these buildings are able to find their evacuation path as soon as possible becomes a lifesaving matter. Therefore, how traditional evacuation systems could be changed from statically providing information to dynamically guiding evacuation paths is the focus of this study. This research has developed a dynamic and visual evacuation system by combining BIM (Building Information Modeling) and IoT (Internet of Things) information for indoor positioning and environmental data collection. Through the analysis of environmental data via sensors and identification of occupants' positions via mobile device, the proposed system calculates the suitable evacuation path and provides visual aids via Extended Reality (XR) technology on the occupants' mobile devices. © 2021, Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering.
