Implementation of SCT Evacuation System to Facilitate Evacuation Procedures in Building Construction Projects

The current communication system in the construction project is a non-interactive system between stakeholders. However, in an emergency, that party cannot control the communication system and provide the information to evacuate from the hazardous area directly, which is inappropriate for the dynamic nature of the construction project. Thus, this study aims to develop a communication system that supports evacuation routes in a dynamic nature, which could generate appropriate evacuation routes for construction workers and staff in construction projects. SCT Evacuation System was used to improve the decision-making process and provide the evacuation route to the construction workers and staff in the construction project. This study experimented using the proposed system and a MATALL Laser distance in the engine building construction project. The results show that the Percentage Difference between all markers, the distance, the exit, and the average Percentage Difference from the current location to the exit measured by the proposed system are lower than the MATALL Laser distance meter, which was less than 8%, 7%, 15%, respectively. Therefore, the proposed system could generate correct access information and provide real-time information for evacuation guidance. It is convenient for decision-making and helps users find destinations quickly and efficiently.
