Predictive building emergency training and guidance system
The disclosed technology provides for generating simulation training models that can be used to prepare people (i.e., building occupants, first responders) to safely and calmly respond to emergencies, such as fires in high-rise buildings. Using the training models, people can better cope with decision-making during emergencies. The disclosed technology also uses signaling devices, wearables, and other devices and sensors distributed throughout a building to provide egress or stay-in-place guidance to people located in the building during an emergency. Audio and/or visual information can be outputted to people to guide them along a safe pathway that is selected to provide safe egress for the person, including anticipating and protecting the person from changing emergency conditions within the building and in response to how the person responded to the simulation training models.

generating an emergency simulation using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to train at least one person in a building to follow emergency response instructions during an emergency;
detecting an emergency in the building based upon at least one detected building condition;
generating, based upon the emergency detection, instructions for emergency guidance, wherein said emergency guidance is previously generated based upon (i) the emergency simulation and (ii) using AI techniques to simulate a presence of the at least one person in the building, and
transmitting, to a mobile computing device associated with the at least one person, the instructions.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting instructions to execute the emergency simulation at a mobile computing device of the at least one person.

generating instructions for executing the training simulation model at an output device, wherein the instructions include AR information;
transmitting the instructions to the output device; and
using the output device to provide the generated instructions to a user in order to teach said user to follow emergency response instructions during an emergency.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more possible emergency evacuation plans are based on user information.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user information comprises a type of user, the type of user including at least one of a building occupant or an emergency responder.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user information comprises a location of the user in a building having a simulated emergency.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein using the output device comprises providing the generated instructions with AR.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the training simulation model is further based on simulating: (i) one or more possible emergencies in a building and (ii) presence of at least the user in the building.

receiving building information that includes: (i) at least one building condition, and (ii) a presence of at least one person in the building;
detecting an emergency in the building based upon the at least one building condition;
if an emergency is detected based upon the at least one building condition, generating instructions that are based upon an emergency guidance, and wherein said emergency guidance is previously generated using AI techniques to simulate: (i) emergencies that are similar to the detected emergency in the building and (ii) the presence of at least one person in the building, and
transmitting, to a mobile computing device associated with the at least one person, the instructions.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the emergency guidance comprises stay-in-place orders for the at least one person.
