Abstract

Purpose: In this study, the luminance measurement analysis results of the smoke generation state are considered for visual signal display light color for real-time escape guidance in the underground common area. Method: We will analyze the scattering characteristics of light in the atmosphere and optical technology based on the visibility theory, and try to classify the elemental technology as a guidance function through a prototype of a visual signal display device for evacuation guidance. Result: In the experiment conducted under the smoke-generating condition, the results were derived with low luminance ratio and good visibility in the order of red, green, and yellow. However, this result is different from general lighting in which color rendering is considered, and is limited to signals for signals and detection. Conclusion: A conclusions were drawn by reflecting both the luminance measurement results in the smoke generation situation and the preference survey results conducted in previous studies for the light color of the visual signal for signal and detection. When events such as smoke occur, it is better to use the escape guidance visual signal in red or green.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 지하공동구 내 실시간 탈출 유도를 위한 비주얼 시그널 표출 광색에 대하여 연기발생 상태의 휘도측정 분석 결과에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 연구방법: 대기 중의 빛의 산란 특성 및 시인성 이론에 근거한 광학적 기술을 분석하고 탈출 유도를 위한 비주얼 시그널 표출 장치 시작품을 통하여 유도기능으로서의 요소기술을 분류하고자 한다. 연구결과: 연기 발생 조건 상태에서 수행한 실험에서 적색, 녹색, 황색 순으로 휘도비가 낮고 가시성이 좋은 것으로 결과가 도출되었다. 단, 본 결과는 연색성이 고려되는 일반 조명과는 다른 결과로 신호용, 감지용 등의 시그널에 국한된다. 결론: 신호용, 감지용 비주얼 시그널의 표출 광색에 대한 연기 발생 이벤트 상황에서의 휘도 측정 결과와 선행 연구에서 실시된 선호도 조사 결과를 모두 반영하여 결론을 도출하였다. 연기발생 이벤트 발생 시 적색 또는 녹색의 광색으로 탈출 유도 비주얼 시그널을 적용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.
