Dynamic Exit Signs

My Final Project

Exits signs are important in any emergency but lack the ability to inform evacuees of compromised routes and exits. We rectify the problem by introducing dynamic exit signs, an exit sign that can have its displayed direction controlled. Through simulation, we demonstrate that dynamic exit signs can be used to reduce evacuation time up to 57%.

How I built it

This was made in Python using Tkinter for graphics. The main driving principle is a navigational field with particle physics for interactions.

Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories

Using python was super slow. Looking back, we could have tried using pygames but ultimately another language like C++ would have been better.
