Abstract

Un système de réponse à un danger intelligent reçoit des premières données indiquant une fuite de gaz dangereuse ou potentiellement dangereuse sur un site en provenance d'une pluralité de dispositifs de détection de gaz positionnés à différents emplacements sur le site. Des deuxièmes données sont ensuite reçues, lesquelles comprennent des données d'état de personnel en temps réel et des données d'état de site en temps réel. Un moteur de règles détermine des itinéraires d'évacuation optimaux pour chaque individu en vue de réduire à un minimum une probabilité d'être blessé par la fuite de gaz et fournit des troisièmes données indiquant les itinéraires d'évacuation déterminés à des dispositifs de communication mobile portés par le personnel. Le moteur de règles prend en compte des informations en temps réel, notamment l'emplacement d'individus par rapport à l'emplacement et à la nature des dangers, à l'emplacement et à la nature de l'équipement de sauvetage in situ, à l'emplacement de zones de sécurité, et à l'évolution potentielle du danger. Le système de réponse à un danger peut également guider de manière optimale des premiers intervenants en vue de neutraliser la fuite de gaz.
