Novel Design of Emergency Exit Slide for High Rises

As the number of high rises buildings increases rabidly these days, residents safety and emergency escape solutions became crucial issue. Several hundreds of persons died or critically injured, each month, due to fire or emergency escape problems during fire or other emergency accidents in high rises around the world. This work aims to find a solution to this problem by proposing a novel design of emergency exit slide for high rises in order to reduce the number of victims during such emergencies. An emergency escaping volute slide or spiraled chute inside a tunnel including extendable accordion pleated tubing made of asbestos fabric, supported with vacuum-deposited aluminized materials padded on its inner side. A ring to its upper end, which made its base attachable with the top of the building supported with Artificial Spider Silk launchers to hold the slide during emergencies. Attachable to small slides from the escape openings of a building, the lower end of the tubing having a soft pad with low angle allowing a person sliding down the main slide can step up to assembly points on ground level, outside the building. The proposed technique resulted in enhanced results in comparison with previous techniques

Development in building fire detection and evacuation system-a comprehensive review

Fire is both beneficial to man and his environment as well as destructive and deadly among all the natural disasters. A fire Accident occurs very rarely, but once it crops up its consequences will be devastating. The early detection of fire will help to avoid further consequences and saves the life of people. During the fire accidents, it is also important to guide people within the building to exit safely. Because of this, the paper gives a review of literature related to recent advancements in building fire detection and emergency evacuation system. It is intended to provide details about fire simulation tools with features, suitable hardware, communication methods, and effective user interface

A Comprehensive Framework for Fire Evacuation Modelling

Strategic planning for the evacuation of occupants from buildings becomes crucial during disaster response operations, especially in the context of fire emergencies that pose a direct threat to human lives. This study addresses the specific challenges associated with fire evacuation in smart buildings within the Internet of Things environment. Despite their enhanced connectivity and accessibility, these buildings are still vulnerable to crises; therefore, efficient and swift occupant evacuation planning is necessary. Developing a successful evacuation plan for these situations calls for in-depth knowledge of smart building characteristics, evacuation factors, and skilful modelling. In order to overcome this problem, the research proposed a metamodel approach that serves as a modelling grammar and syntax for systematic design. The metamodel is constructed based on common evacuation model terminology and fire emergency variables. Through the use of a graphical editor and model transformation, the metamodel undergoes validation using a model-checking technique. In abstract modelling, this validation technique provides crucial insights into the accuracy and completeness of the metamodel in enhancing the resilience of smart building evacuation systems
