  2. 2. The design of evacuation alarms for people who are deaf or hard of hearing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anastasia Afanasova; [2023]
    Keywords : Alarm system; Deaf people; Hard-of-hearing people; Fire safety.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The ability to hear is essential for receiving auditory signals, which serve as warnings and alerts in many situations, including fire evacuation. However, people with hearing impairments may miss out such signals and can be exposed to dangerous situations. READ MORE

  3. 3. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Muthia Khairunisa Jaelani; [2022]
    Keywords : Wildfire; evacuation; WUI fire; evacuation modelling; traffic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. READ MORE

  4. 4. Security lighting in horse riding halls: Development of a simulation-led testing methodology in VR
