Fire smoke reduces the visibility of emergency direction signs, rendering them ineffective for providing appropriate guidance along evacuation routes in a fire situation. This is problematic because civilians may select evacuation routes that expose them to smoke or fire in a burning building. This study proposed using a smartphone voice-guided evacuation system (SVGES) to provide alternative evacuation routes for civilians trapped at a fire scene. To verify the efficacy of the SVGES, experiments were conducted with 26 participants in a simulated fire scenario. The experimental results showed that when using the SVGES, the participants chose the safest evacuation route with a 100% successful evacuation rate.
火灾烟雾降低了紧急方向标志的可见度，使它们在火灾情况下无法沿着疏散路线提供适当的引导。这是有问题的，因为平民可能会选择使他们暴露在烟雾或火中的疏散路线在燃烧的建筑物中。本研究提出使用智能手机语音引导疏散系统 (SVGES) 为困在火灾现场的平民提供替代疏散路线。为了验证 SVGES 的功效，在模拟火灾场景中对 26 名参与者进行了实验。实验结果表明，当使用 SVGES 时，参与者选择了最安全的疏散路线，疏散成功率达到 100%。
