A Visual Representation for Indoor Emergency Management
Abstract
Human beings spend much time indoors, such as schools, factories and businesses. The emergency management in such environments is useful and challenging. The location and visualization technologies in these environments are not as advanced as existing for open environments (e.g., location via GPS, visualization in maps). Currently, much effort is devoted to identify people in indoor environments. Despite the relevance of this activity, few studies investigate aspects related to the visualization of this information. This paper presents a new visualization for indoor environments aimed at supporting the emergency. The proposed visualization was based on the opinion of emergency professionals, developed as a prototype and validated with end users. The results show that the developed visualization is effective in transmitting information regarding a possible indoors-emergency scenario and can thus support the professionals in their rescue activities.
