Abstract

This results aims to improve the effectiveness of security systems by optimizing the interaction between technological components and organizational and human intervention. Objectives are to determine the specific laws governing indoor fire phenomena by means of experimental full-scale and numerical approaches, to get real-time information about the fire during operations. A second phase consists in a transformation of the usual passive-safety systems into intelligent and communicating systems, thereby optimizing and securing the human and organizational emergency response. The dual competence numerical /experimental data is essential in this type of study since the experimental data suffer from a lack of resolution (spatial, temporal) but nevertheless represent information necessary for validating the codes.

Highlights

  • During indoor fires, the decision for emergency responses is mainly based on human observations coming only from firefighters experiences without any solution to obtain precise physical information about the evolution of the fire

  • A second phase consists in a transformation of the usual passive-safety systems into intelligent and communicating systems, thereby optimizing and securing the human and organizational emergency response

  • The ability to have physical measurements about the nature of the fire and its evolution, and to transmit them outside for analysis in order to point out the main characteristics of the fire and detect dangers, would make up essential elements to gain a better understanding of the situation, and to allow a better organization of firerescue actions improving firefighters security. This is the main challenge of this project, whose objectives are to determine the specific laws governing indoor fire phenomena by means of experimental full-scale and numerical approaches, to get real-time information about the fire during operations [1,2,3,4,5]
