On the way to dynamic evacuations

IK4-Tekniker is participating in the European eVACUATE project with the aim of improving emergency evacuation systems.

K4-Tekniker participates in the European eVACUATE project.

Objective: to improve and make more dynamic evacuation systems in case of emergency.

By Jon Mabe; IK4-Tekniker: The current Exit signals are static or fixed, always promising people to exit in the same direction. What we are proposing is that these signals are dynamic; that those in the checkpoint have the ability to change the direction of evacuation and know whether people have to move to the right, to the left or to the front.

In emergencies, it is sought to control the flow of evacuation and to deter people from danger.

Real-time simulations will be offered to decision makers.

By Jon Mabe; IK4-Tekniker: Through the cameras, you know where people are, but if people keep moving like this, if you know where they're going to be 30 seconds or a minute from here, the people in charge will have more useful information.

The tests include: At Anoeta Stadium, Bilbao Metro, Athens Airport and on board a boat.

The EVACUATE project will last 4 years with 20 participants from 8 countries.

By Jon Mabe; IK4-Tekniker: At the end of the project, within 5 years, become an expert in evacuation plans and in the development of technology for emergency plans. This experience is very important to us.
