Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided to aide in emergency egress of a structure. More particularly, egress indicators are co-located with hazard sensors. During detection of a hazard condition, locations of sensors detecting the hazard are identified and a pathway directing traffic away from the hazard is determined. Finally, the egress indicators are operated to direct traffic down the determined pathway.
