Abstract

This invention relates to a method for users localization and guidance of the movements of the users through a building adapted in relation to an event, along paths leading to one or more given target places, with connected objects (T, T′) in communication link with a remote resource server which is a control server (S) accessible by a communication network, comprising the following steps: on the basis of a digital model of the building (BIM, CIM), nodes (N) and edges (A) are computed; a user waiting list is assigned to each passage node; a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of movement toward the target places (“E”, “S”, “W”) is automatically computed with the nodes and the edges (A); the actual location of an event is detected; the actual position of each user located in the building is computed; as a function of the profile of the user, of the user's location in real time in the building causing the inaccessibility of certain nodes of the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), the so-called ‘updated’ Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG′) of moving toward the target places; and a sub-graph DODAG′ are computed.
