ABSTRACT
There are many new technologies developed recently which can be used for fire safety design, such as Personal Announcement Voice Activated (PAVA) system, Internet of Things (IOT), and smart building management system (BMS). Machine learning (ML) is a new technology that is gradually replacing human beings in most of the disciplines. With the fast development of the technology, some new technologies such as PAVA, IOT, and smart BMS have been developed. They have the great potential to enhance current fire safety design measures and bring the fire safety design to a new level. IOT technology can link a fire alarm or carbon monoxide detector with home appliances. ML is a part of artificial intelligence technology which evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in AI. To accurately predict the failure mode of one type of structure, the computer should be trained with a vast database of sufficient failure cases due to fire from real projects.
