Abstract

Passenger casualties in the case of ship accidents have increased because of the increase in size and complexity of current ships (such as cruise ships). Therefore, in recent years, emergency evacuation systems are receiving increased interest so as to ensure the safety of passengers. Currently, there are only basic instructions provided, such as announcements regarding the situation, alarms, and exit signs; however, no guidance toward a proper escape route has yet been provided. To solve this problem, several emergency guiding schemes have been proposed. However, these systems ignore some of the realities of ship accidents and are impractical because various risk factors are not considered. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal route guiding system based on an $A^*$ algorithm for emergency escape during disaster situations. This system takes into account various possible risk factors. Performance evaluation using computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme is effective and leads to safe escape routes.

최근 크루즈 선박과 같이 선박의 대형화, 복합화가 진행됨에 따라 선박사고 시 인명피해가 증가하여, 선박 재난시 승객 안전을 확보하기 위한 기술의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 현재까지는, 선박 내 사고 상황 시 안내방송 및 화재경보 비상벨, 비상유도등과 같이 현재 위치에서 안전한 곳으로 대피하라는 단순한 신호만 줄 뿐 적절한 탈출 경로를 선택함에 있어서 도움을 주지는 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 여러 대피유도 방안이 제안되어 왔지만 다양한 위험요소와 그에 대한 특성에 대한 고려가 부족하여 실제 시스템에 적용하는 데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 위험요소와 해당 특성을 고려할 수 있는 $A^*$ 알고리즘 기반의 대피유도 시스템을 제안한다. 가상 구조물 및 선박 내 재난 상황을 가정한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방식의 성능을 검증하였다.
