CLOUD-BASED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ROUTING FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION SYSTEMS USING WI-FI ACCESS POINTS OVER DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract:

A cloud-based intelligence to emergency evacuation systems using Wi-Fi access points over data communication systems. A layout of emergency exits for a building being monitored and AP locations within the building layout is configured. A density map is generated from a number of stations within radio range of each AP including stations that are connected and stations that are not connected. An emergency that requires evacuation of people from the building from an emergency system associated with the building is detected. In response, an optimal evacuation route from each AP based on the density map and the building layout is generated. Evacuation instructions for each AP can be displayed on the stations within range of each AP.
