Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate, through experimental methods, the efficiency of passenger movement and evacuation in the event of an emergency situation on an aircraft. Method: The experiment was conducted a total of 4 times, including 3 scenarios. The three situations were evacuation without luggage, evacuation with carry-on baggage, and evacuation with carry-on baggage and carrier. In the experiment, time was measured based on recorded video. Result: The total evacuation time was found to be approximately 1.5 times higher for the evacuation with luggage, and approximately 3.5 times higher for the evacuation with luggage and 3 carriers compared to the evacuation result in a situation where nothing was carried. As a result of applying the evacuation simulation, it was found that there was a difference from the experimental results. In particular, consideration of complex situations such as carrying out and moving carriers is considered to be a situation that requires more technical research. Conclusion: Quantitive data was obtained to determine how carry-on luggage and carrier affect evacuation.

연구목적: 본 연구는 항공기 내 비상상황 발생 시 승객 이동 및 대피의 효율성에 대하여 실험적 방법을 통해 알아보고자 수행되었다. 연구방법: 실험은 3가지 상황 시나리오와 반복 수행을 포함 총 4회 진행되었다. 3가지 상황은 수화물이 없는 상태의 대피, 휴대수화물 소지 대피, 휴대 수화물 및 캐리어 소지 대피였다. 실험은 기록된 영상을 기반으로 시간을 측정하였다. 연구결과: 총 대피소요시간은 아무것도 소지하지 않은 상황에서의 대피결과에 비하여 휴대수화물의 반출은 약 1.5배, 휴대수화물과 캐리어 3개가 반출되는 실험의 결과는 약 3.5배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 피난시뮬레이션을 적용해본 결과 실험 결과와 차이가 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 캐리어 반출 및 이동 등의 복잡한 상황의 고려는 좀 더 기술적으로 연구해보아야 할 상황으로 판단된다. 결론: 휴대수화물 및 캐리어 소지가 대피에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 정량적으로 판단할 수 있는 근거자료를 확보하였다.
