When the emergency events occurs, they go blindly or so nervous too calm down. They can only follow people’s running or rely on their weak memory of this indoor environment to search the exit. It maybe waste much time and couldn’t search the exit correctly right away. Abstract-In this paper, a location-aware indoor emergency navigation system is proposed. When any user carrying a mobile device provided with RFID reader enters an indoor environment that is installed in advance with RFID tags of the navigation system, the mobile device will automatically detect the system and download a map of escaping routes onto the device beforehand. When emergency events occur, the mobile device could immediately identify users’ locations by reading RFID tags and establish escaping routes. People could safely avoid hazardous areas while escaping from emergency and disasters like fire and earthquakes through the guidance of the mobile device. With the aid of this system, personal safety against accidents will be better ensured to achieve the objective of minimal casualties.
