Abstract:
An automatic evacuation assistance system, for assisting animals or people in existing a structure includes an event detector, such as a smoke detector for providing an event detection signal. The event detection signal is received by an exit control device which is coupled to an exit opening, for allowing the exit opening to open, providing an exit path to the outside of a structure. A sensory attractant transmitter transmits a sensory attractant in the form of a sound, smell, or visual signals to attract the person or animals to the exit path and exit opening.
