Fire Security Systems Analysis and Internet of Things Implications

Abstract

This paper presents the current use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in fire evacuation and extinction. It examines the different approaches to the problem and technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and mathematical algorithms that can be used to determine the optimal evacuation route. It also evaluates existing fire security solutions such as smoke, flame, motion, and gas sensors, LED lights, buzzers, and SMS modules. Entities that specialize in Residential and Commercial Security Systems and Home Automation are also discussed, along with the services they offer. The main objective of this study is to understand current systems and resources regarding fire evacuation and extinction systems and to analyze different developments in smart buildings to create an efficient system for fire detection and evacuation.
