Abstract:
Fire emergencies pose significant risks to human safety, with delayed evacuation due to
obstructed or inaccessible exit ways contributing to high casualty rates. Traditional
emergency exit systems, reliant on manual operations and basic alarms, often fail to address
dynamic fire conditions, leading to inefficiencies in evacuation. This project proposes a smart
door system integrated with fire flame and smoke sensors to enhance the timely clearance of
emergency exit ways. The system employs real-time hazard detection to trigger automated
door operations, ensuring rapid and unobstructed access to escape routes. By designing and
testing a prototype in simulated fire scenarios, the project evaluates the system’s effectiveness
in reducing evacuation times and improving safety in high-occupancy buildings such as
schools and commercial complexes. The significance of this work lies in its potential to save
lives, align with modern fire safety standards, and contribute to the advancement of smart
building technologies
