Abstract: The main aim of this work is to implement a progressive path-planning algorithm with a proposed hybrid network based CNC-C (Cooperative Network Coded–Communication) architecture for a smart evacuation system. An algorithm ALCDTS (Health based Age–Length–Capacity–Distance–Trustiness–Speed) is proposed to generate possible progressive routes by considering the building conditions, hazard estimation, path capacity along with the occupant’s age, speed and health status. The investigation of ALCDTS is carried out by using the path finder simulator. The comparative study between the conventional evacuation algorithm and ALCDTS algorithm has been performed and the results are obtained. A four-storied shopping mall is taken as a building model where the performance of test cases for abnormal event is analysed.
