Abstract
An evacuation system which maintains an active count of people in real time in a location, for example a building or other geographic area with defined boundaries and dynamically calculates the best path for a user or group of users to follow when an emergency situation occurs. The people in the location may be tracked by a user wearable RFID device and may classify the people based on specific needs or other criteria.
