In this work, the application of the Internet of things to emergency evacuation systems will be tackled. Fixed direction signs represent the current practice in identifying evacuation paths, but they can be misleading or lead evacuees to unsafe areas. Smart evacuation systems can overcome all these issues and allow the shortest and safest path to be determined based on the real time data gathered from sensors. A description of the proposed algorith...
