Abstract

A system is provided that includes a threat detection system having a plurality of threat sensors, a building information model (BIM) of a secured area embodied in memory, an access control system that detects entry by human occupants into the secured area and that provides an overall indication of location of each of the human occupants, an occupant locator and notifier that detects a specific location of human occupants within the secured area via radio waves emitted by a wireless device carried by each of the human occupants, and a safe path calculator that calculates a respective route to a safe exit for each of the human occupants based upon the BIM, a threat, the location of the threat, and the specific or overall indicated location of the human occupant, wherein the occupant location and notifier wirelessly sends the respective calculated route to the wireless device of the human occupant.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a threat detection system having a plurality of threat sensors, wherein the threat detection system detects a threat and a location of the threat within a secured geographic area;
a building information model (BIM) of the secured geographic area embodied in memory;
an access control system executing on one or more processors that detect entry by human occupants into the secured geographic area and that provide a respective overall indication of location of each of the human occupants, wherein the respective overall indication of location is based on the entry detected;
an occupant locator and notifier executing on one or more processors that detect a respective specific location of each of the human occupants within the secured geographic area via respective radio waves emitted by a respective wireless device carried by a respective one of the human occupants;
a safe path calculator executing on one or more processors that calculate a respective route to a safe exit for each of the human occupants based upon the BIM, the threat, the location of the threat, and the respective specific location or the respective overall indication of location of the respective one of the human occupants, wherein the occupant locator and notifier wirelessly sends the respective route calculated to the respective wireless device of the respective one of the human occupants;
and
a processor that searches for the respective specific location for each of the human occupants and, upon failing to detect the respective specific location, uses the respective overall indication of location as a respective starting point of the respective route to the safe exit.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

a security system that protects a secured geographic area of a building, wherein the security system includes one or more processors that detect a threat and a location of the threat within the secured geographic area;
a building information model (BIM) of the secured geographic area embodied in memory;
an access control system having one or more processors that detect a respective entry location of each of human occupants into the secured geographic area;
an occupant locator executing on one or more processors that detect a respective specific location of each of the human occupants within the secured geographic area via respective radio waves emitted by a respective wireless device carried by a respective one of the human occupants;
a safe path calculator executing on one or more processors that calculate a respective route to a safe exit for each of the human occupants based upon the BIM, the threat, the location of the threat, and the respective specific location or the respective entry location of the respective one of the human occupants;
a notifier executing on one or more processors that wirelessly send the respective route calculated to the respective wireless device of the respective one of the human occupants;
and
a processor that searches for the respective specific location for each of the human occupants and, upon failing to detect the respective specific location, uses the respective entry location as a respective starting point of the respective route to the safe exit.
