Yanapay: Sistema de evacuación basado en tecnología RFID y dispositivos Android

Recent studies show that the use of technological tools in emergency situations contribute significantly to the success of the evacuation plans; because of this, in the last years different initiatives have been proposed, mainly in terms of solving the availability of information on escape routes and alertness. Yanapay is an evacuation system, developed for mobile devices (Android), which provides personalized assistance in emergencies. The mobile application shows to the user its location into the building and the shortest and safest evacuation route. The user has two information mechanisms, firstly the calculated evacuation routes are shown over the 2D planes; and second, the system sends alert messages of the dangerous sites. Users are monitored using RFID technology in corridors, stairs and emergency exits, and by coupling an RFID lecture module to the mobile device. The routes are updated periodically through sensors in corridors and offices, and they will connect to a server using an acquisition module, which will wirelessly update the mobile device data. Yanapay was validated through methodologies of international tests for each one of their components.
