| Abstract | This paper focuses on indoor evacuation path planning problem where the objective is to find evacuation paths for each evacuee such that the evacuation egress time is minimized. Since paths are dependent on the distribution of evacuees, initial positions of evacuees are required to find optimal paths during emergency. Instrumenting a building to obtain initial positions and count of people in a building is very challenging (and costly), and hence evacuation plans are prepared for a few expected distributions. Generally, a standard plan based on a predominant distribution of evacuees is posted on the walls inside an indoor facility for people to follow. However, the actual distribution may be another distribution from among the possible distributions. In this work, we consider the problem of finding the distribution that prevails at the evacuation time so that evacuees can be guided to follow the optimal paths (leading to minimum time) rather than following the standard plan. We propose a cost-effective solution to this problem by observing movement of people within a specified time period, labeled distribution detection window, using minimum number of optimally located sensors. This is in contrast to existing approaches which assume that unlimited sensors are available to instantaneously obtain the exact distribution of evacuees at the time of incidence. To our knowledge this paper presents the first formal evacuation planning approach that enables the user to optimally tradeoff the delay in distribution detection with the cost of the deployed sensor network used to obtain this distribution. Our approach is based on the popular heuristic denoted as Capacity Constrained Routing Planner (CCRP). Our approach is illustrated by a set of experiments on two case studies. The results demonstrate that evacuation plans obtained using minimum number of sensors are better than the standard plans and are comparable to evacuation plans computed using unlimited number of sensors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
