Abstract
Dynamic output of information for the evacuation of persons, in particular from buildings, is provided to a portable device based on current position data of the device as determined by a position determination system. The current usability of escape routes located in the building is determined by a sensor system. Evacuation information is determined by a control unit, based on the current usability of the escape routes and the current position of the device and output on the portable device. In emergency situations, dedicated evacuation information can thus be determined for a person as a function of the whereabouts of the person and the respective hazardous situation and output on the mobile device (e.g. smartphone, PDA) of the person. This enables, inter alia, a rapid and efficient evacuation of the building or a site.
