Apartment Fire Evacuation Simulator

2.70

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Apartment fire incident (Eunma Apartments)
Step 2 Safety inspection services for aging apartments
Step 3 Unit-level fire evacuation simulation SaaS

Problem

Residents of aging apartments (30+ years old) frequently miss the critical 3-minute golden time during fires because they don't know the optimal evacuation route from their unit. Complexes built in 1979, like Eunma Apartments, have fire truck access roads and fire compartments that fall short of current standards, but property management offices lack the capability to provide unit-specific evacuation guidance, leading to repeated casualties.

Solution

By simply entering the building and unit number, the service auto-generates a 3D evacuation route for that specific unit and visualizes the locations and status of fire safety equipment (sprinklers, descending lifelines, emergency exits). A management office dashboard enables bulk PDF Report export of evacuation simulation results for all units, ready for immediate use as legally mandated fire safety training materials.

Target: Fire safety managers at aging apartment complexes (20+ years since construction) with 1,000+ units in Seoul and the metropolitan area
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at $74/month per complex (500 units or fewer), $112/month (over 500 units). 20% discount for Annual Subscription. Additional per-unit Report export at $0.37 Per Transaction.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
