Abstract

Multisensory fire detection is widely accepted as the next generation of fire detection technology. A novel conceptual fire hazard ranking distribution system is proposed based on multisensory technology with the aim to assist building managers in fire emergency management, and fire brigades in fire rescue or fire fighting. The system is consisted of a fire node network representing fire hazard ranking of the divided control units in a building plan. Concept of fire information cloud is proposed inside the system to conduct most of the calculation and storage related to fire information. The system has the potential to provide space dimension in addition to traditional time and sensor type dimensions of a fire detection system. Fire location, fire situation assessment, and fire development intensity of a building in fire can be provided by the system for emergency management reference. Some long-term significances of the proposed conceptual system are also presented.
