In an emergency, the ability of a building, site or complex to guide occupants to an exit is crucial in upholding life safety. According to research into crowd behaviour in emergencies, the conventional use of tonal alarms, static signage and emergency lighting may limit the ability to expedite an evacuation, reduce panic and avoid congestion of escape routes.
