Cyber Physical Space
CP Space = Physical Space
augmented with Digital Components
A cyber-physical space is a physical space
embedded with intelligence and interfaced
with humans in a natural way using vision,
speech, gestures, and touch. [Tsigkanos+2016]

New families of applications
The explicit specification of space-based information,
enables the realization of new families of
applications, such as:
• Biometric recognition in indoor environments,
• Indoor geo-localization of humans, and things,
• proximity-based applications,
• crowd monitoring,
• urban security systems: evacuation handling of
closed spaces in case of emergencies,
• Obstacle modeling

Static Evacuation Plan

27. ©Henry Muccini – Seminar @PhD School on Cultural Heritage Conservation and Valorization
27
Limitations of the static emergency
evacuation plan
▪ leading all pedestrians to the same route and making
that area highly crowded;
▪ ignoring the individual movement behavior of people
and special categories (e.g. elderly, children, disabled);
▪ lack of a comprehensive understanding for evacuation
manager and operators by a real-time situational
awareness
▪ ignoring abrupt
congestion, obstacles or
dangerous routes and
areas;
