Talk Title: .Artificial Intelligence Based Smart Evacuation System Design for the the Complex Buildings of Smart Cities
Abstract:
In this talk, 3D Network Analyses and Interactive Human Navigation System for indoor which consists of three components will be presented. The first component is used to extract the geometrical and 3D topological vector data automatically from architectural raster floor plans. The second component is used for network analysis and simulations. It generates and presents the optimum path in a 3D modeled building, and provides 3D visualization and simulation. And the third component is used to carry out the generation of the guiding expressions and it also provides that information for the mobile devices such as PDA’s, laptops etc via Internet.
In addition, an Intelligent Evacuation Model for Smart Buildings will be introduced in this presentation. The model dynamically takes into account environmental (smoke, fire, etc.) and human-induced (age, disability, etc.) factors and generates personalized evacuation route by performing network analysis interactively and in real-time. Intelligent Control Techniques (Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Networks) has been used in the design of the model.
