Abstract: As modern buildings are becoming bigger and more sophisticated due to advancement in building technology, such advanced model changes of them have caused great loss of lives and property damage when disaster situations such as fire and gas leak occur indoor. Methods/Statistical analysis: As for the way to disaster preparedness, world powers such as the United States have been researching related simulators, focusing on disaster response rather than disaster recovery. Against this backdrop, this study shows a guidance simulator to ensure that people evacuate safely and quickly with possible evacuation routes in the buildings to minimize loss of lives damage caused by gas leak and fire. First, we developed the shortest possible distance between people and exits, and then we studied requirements to apply it to disaster situations. Findings: Map data should be generated by understanding locations of corridor where people can use from a design drawing of target building, and graphs should be formed by connecting points of each location of corridors in order to offer the evacuation routes. It should be also be possible to calculate and display optimal paths from each location to the exits through a proper routing protocol. This study shows that the shortest distance guidance simulator gets the scalability facilitated by functionally isolating map data, graph formation, routing protocol, and topology formation. In this regard, the simulator is designed and implemented so that evacuation routes can be guided to respond to disaster situations, applying requirements to it. Improvements/Applications: If the evacuation route guiding simulator is applied to the evacuation route guiding navigation, it is possible to further minimize the casualty damage.
