| Summary: | Fire alarm systems have become increasingly an important lifesaving technology in
many aspects, such as applications to detect, monitor and control any fire hazard. A large sum
of money is being spent annually to install and maintain the fire alarm systems in buildings to
protect property and lives from the unexpected spread of fire. Several methods are already
developed and it is improving on a daily basis to reduce the cost as well as increase quality. An
integrated Fire Detection and Alarm (FDA) systems with building automation was studied, to
reduce cost and improve their reliability by preventing false alarm. This work proposes an
improved framework for FDA system to ensure a robust intelligent network of FDA control
panels in real-time. A shortest path algorithmic was chosen for series of buildings connected by
fiber optic network. The framework shares information and communicates with each fire alarm
panels connected in peer to peer configuration and declare the network state using network
address declaration from any building connected in network. The fiber-optic connection was
proposed to reduce signal noises, thus increasing large area coverage, real-time communication
and long-term safety. Based on this proposed method an experimental setup was designed and
a prototype system was developed to validate the performance in practice. Also, the distributed
network system was proposed to connect with an optional remote monitoring terminal panel to
validate proposed network performance and ensure fire survivability where the information is
sequentially transmitted. The proposed FDA system is different from traditional fire alarm and
detection system in terms of topology as it manages group of buildings in an optimal and
efficient manner.Introduction |
