Claims9
A method of building evacuation during an emergency condition, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a sensor data set transmitted from one or more pull stations, sensor and signal units, or legacy sensors;
- storing building inhabitant location, wherein the building inhabitant location is determined using the sensor data set;
- determining an emergency condition location based on the sensor data set;
- generating a unique emergency evacuation route to an emergency exit for each building inhabitant location considering the emergency condition location;
- broadcasting the unique emergency evacuation route to one or more pull stations and sensor and signal units corresponding to the unique emergency evacuation route;
- displaying evacuation signals corresponding to each unique emergency evacuation route at each of the pull stations and sensor and signal units corresponding to the unique emergency evacuation route;
- determining an access level of a user;
- transmitting each unique emergency evacuation route from a local control unit to a remote control station;
- and
- transmitting from the remote control station to the local control unit one or more modifications to the unique emergency evacuation route.
