Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for family management during muster on a vessel. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for family management during muster includes associating a mobile device of a child on the vessel with a mobile device of a parent of the child also on the vessel and assigning a muster station on the vessel to the parent and a muster station to the child. For instance, the muster station assigned to the child may be different than that of the parent. Thereafter, during a muster event, a location of the mobile device of the child on the vessel is determined relative to the muster station assigned to the child and a message may be transmitted to the mobile device of the parent indicating the determined location.

An emergency guidance and advisement system is provided to automatically determine a floor map of a building and using the floor map for advising how to exit the building during an emergency, such as a fire. The system can automatically create an escape plan, based on pre-disaster and in-disaster motion detection of users within the home, and provide dynamic advisement to guide users out of the home during an emergency.

A method for monitoring devices based at least in part on detected conditions includes accumulating, by one or more sensory nodes, sensed information in an area that includes a controllable device. The method also includes analyzing the sensed information to identify historical information regarding the area that includes the controllable device. The method also includes sensing a condition within the area by the one or more sensory nodes. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the sensed condition and at least in part on the historical information, that the sensed condition relates to the controllable device. The method further includes generating, responsive to said determining, an alert regarding the controllable device.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for dynamic routing during muster. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for dynamic routing during distributed muster includes assigning a muster station to a passenger on a vessel and thereafter, locating the passenger at a location on the vessel during a muster event. Once the passenger has been located on the vessel, a path is computed between the location and the muster station and turn by turn instructions assembled for the computed path. Finally, the turn by turn instructions are transmitted to a mobile computing device of the passenger, such as a smart phone or smart watch, for display in the mobile computing device of the passenger during the muster event.

A method may include obtaining a first data set of a first user present at a venue. The method may also include obtaining venue characteristic data corresponding to a set of characteristics of the venue. The method may also include obtaining first venue condition data corresponding to a first set of venue conditions. The method may further include generating a first evacuation route based at least in part on the first data set. The method may also include generating a first timing instruction corresponding to the first evacuation route and based at least in part on the first venue condition data. The method may further include providing the first evacuation route and the first timing instruction to the first user.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an efficient and accurate method for presenting victim locations to emergency responders. The method disclosed can be used to track individuals still remaining in a building in case of an emergency. The method comprises determining a location for an individual by receiving a device identifier (e.g., combination of numbers and/or characters uniquely identifying a receiving device associated with the individual) and location information, received from one or more beacons, from the receiving device. The method comprises determining a first location associated with the receiving device based on the location information and/or the device identifier. The method comprises determining different locations associated with the individual as the individual moves and determining whether the individual is still within the building. The method comprises, displaying location information and instructions to reach the individual in case of an emergency.

The present disclosure relates an evacuation management system, EMS, (40, 52, 60, 00, 200) operative to provide real-time evacuation information for evacuation of a building, triggered by alarm notification (S202). Based on determined (S214) precise real-time positions of personal ultra-wide band, UWB, devices, as determined by UWB real-time localization system, RTLS, a controller determines (S210) evacuation plans being personal UWB device specific in real-time. Based on individual evacuation plans and input from building facilities, real-time guidance information is defined (S208) and sent to each personal UWB device, providing guidance to person carrying said personal UWB device, in what direction to move (S212), to reach a safe area. Based on localization signals the UWB RTLSA then calculates updated positions of the personal UWB devices and sends to the evacuation management system. It is an advantage that trapped or injured people can be found, even in low visibility areas.

Systems and methods for providing situational awareness of a building to first responders are described. The system includes a server that receives and stores building information, such as a floor plan and other information. The system further includes one or more sensors that, whether or not periodically, senses situational awareness of the building and uploads that information to the server. A building identification affixed to the building allows a first responder to access the building information and situational awareness information at any time, such as during a situation or an incident, such as an emergency.

A gunshot detection/security system for detecting dangerous events in a school or other building includes one or several pods placed throughout the building premises. Each pod includes a camera, a thermal camera, and an acoustic sensor for detecting video, images, heat signatures, and sound within a detection area for the respective pod. The sensor data is then analyzed to identify a dangerous event in the building, and provide alerts regarding the dangerous event via the pods or client computing devices of students/occupants in the building, administrators, parents, and emergency responders. A server computing device generates digital maps of the interior and exterior of the building having location information regarding the occupants of the building and a danger zone indicating the epicenter for the dangerous event.

A cloud-based intelligence to emergency evacuation systems using Wi-Fi access points over data communication systems. A layout of emergency exits for a building being monitored and AP locations within the building layout is configured. A density map is generated from a number of stations within radio range of each AP including stations that are connected and stations that are not connected. An emergency that requires evacuation of people from the building from an emergency system associated with the building is detected. In response, an optimal evacuation route from each AP based on the density map and the building layout is generated. Evacuation instructions for each AP can be displayed on the stations within range of each AP.
