[0017] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a smart building fire risk assessment method based on sensor networks proposed in this invention; Figure 2 is a system architecture diagram of a smart building fire risk assessment system based on sensor networks proposed in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example 1, as shown in Figure 1, proposes an intelligent building fire risk assessment method based on sensor networks. The specific implementation steps are as follows: S1. By constructing a multi-source sensor network within the building, continuous collection of environmental information closely related to fire formation, such as temperature, smoke, combustible gases, and airflow, is performed. Temporal continuous variation modeling and spatial consistency constraints are introduced to transform discrete, instantaneous monitoring data into a networked state expression that reflects the environmental evolution process. Specifically: S11. By collaboratively collecting multi-dimensional environmental parameters within building spatial units, various environmental quantities are uniformly regarded as components characterizing the fire incubation state, making the environmental perception results closer to the actual fire formation mechanism. Specifically: the building is divided into several spatial units according to usage function, personnel density, and spatial connectivity, and several sensor nodes are deployed in each spatial unit; each sensor node synchronously collects multiple environmental parameters highly related to fire formation, enabling the collection results to reflect the environmental change state from multiple physical dimensions; for any sensor node i, the original environmental observation vector formed at time t is defined as: ;in, This represents the original environmental observation vector collected by sensor node i at time t, which is used to comprehensively reflect the multidimensional environmental state at the location of the node; This represents the ambient temperature value collected by sensor node i at time t; This represents the smoke concentration value collected by sensor node i at time t; This represents the volume fraction of combustible gas collected by sensor node i at time t; This represents the airflow velocity collected by sensor node i at time t; S12, by modeling the changes in environmental parameters within adjacent time windows, environmental monitoring is transformed from instantaneous numerical judgment to continuous evolution process analysis, thereby highlighting the changing trends and cumulative effects of environmental states and providing a time dimension basis for early risk identification. Specifically, for any environmental component x at node i, its continuous temporal change is defined as: ;in, This indicates that the environmental component x is within an adjacent sampling time interval at sensor node i. The amount of change within; This represents the value of the environmental component x at sensor node i; S13. By introducing a multi-node state consistency constraint within a spatial unit, local abnormal fluctuations are flexibly corrected. This improves overall state stability while preserving weak signals of potential risks, making the environmental state representation more reliable and less likely to mask early anomalies. Specifically, considering that a single sensor node may be affected by local disturbances or temporary anomalies, a spatial consistency constraint mechanism is introduced to comprehensively correct the environmental state of multiple nodes within the same spatial unit; let spatial unit k contain a set of nodes. Then the comprehensive environmental state of the spatial unit at time t is defined as follows: Based on this, by comparing the deviation between the state of a single node and the overall spatial state, nodes with larger deviations are assigned lower weights, so that potential local anomalies can still be preserved as weak signals; among them, This represents the comprehensive environmental state vector of spatial unit k at time t; This represents the number of sensor nodes within space unit k, used for normalization when calculating the overall environmental state of the space unit; S14. Based on the aforementioned processing, the stable state characteristics and key change trends of each spatial unit are uniformly mapped into a standardized state vector to construct an environmental state network that can be transmitted and evolved in the building space, providing structured input for subsequent fire risk assessment and predictive analysis. Specifically, after completing time-continuous modeling and spatial consistency correction, the environmental state of each spatial unit is uniformly mapped into a standardized state vector to construct the building environmental state network. The state vector of spatial unit k at time t is expressed as: ;in, This represents the final environmental state vector of spatial unit k at time t, which comprehensively reflects the current environmental state and key change trends of the spatial unit. This represents the average ambient temperature state of space cell k at time t, used to describe the overall thermal environment level of the space cell; This represents the average smoke concentration state of spatial cell k at time t, used to reflect the smoke accumulation situation within the spatial cell; It represents the average combustible gas volume fraction state of space cell k at time t, and is used to describe the potential fuel conditions of the space cell; It represents the average airflow velocity state of space cell k at time t, and is used to characterize the gas flow characteristics within the space cell; This represents the temperature change trend of spatial cell k within adjacent sampling time intervals, used to reflect whether heat shows a continuous accumulation trend; This represents the trend of smoke concentration change in spatial cell k over adjacent sampling time intervals, used to reflect whether the smoke shows a continuous increasing trend.

[0019] S2. Based on the spatial unit environmental state vector output in step S1, risk-oriented reconstruction and feature extraction of the building environment state are performed to extract low-dimensional, evolvable, and transferable risk features, providing input for subsequent fire risk transmission and trend prediction. Through risk sensitivity analysis, component collaborative change analysis, historical stable benchmark comparison, and risk feature vector reconstruction, the high-dimensional, multi-source, and continuous environmental state is transformed into a risk feature vector reflecting the fire evolution trend, improving the accuracy and robustness of risk identification. Specifically: S21. Component-level risk sensitivity calculation is performed on the environmental state vector of each spatial unit. The contribution of each component to the potential fire risk is dynamically evaluated by comprehensively considering the component change amplitude and consistency, forming a single-component risk index, providing basic input for subsequent collaborative analysis. Specifically: In step S1, the state vector of each spatial unit k... The current state and key trends have already been included; to identify which state components are most sensitive to fire risk, a risk sensitivity calculation formula is designed: ; ; ;in, This represents the risk sensitivity index of state component j in spatial unit k; This represents the average variation amplitude of state component j in spatial unit k; The consistency index represents the direction of change of state component j within the time window; Indicates the direction of change at time point t (rising, falling, or remaining stable); N represents the number of sampling points within the time window; Represents a symbolic function; This represents a nonlinear mapping function that transforms the consistency index of change into a risk-weighted coefficient. The initial influence coefficient is used to reflect the differences in the physical contribution of different state components to the formation of fire risk; S22, analyze the coordinated change relationship of multiple state components within a spatial unit, identify synchronous enhancement or continuous linkage trends by calculating the correlation between changes in components, extract the combined signals that truly indicate fire risk, and improve the ability and accuracy of identifying early fire risks. Specifically, early signs of fire are usually manifested as joint changes in temperature, smoke, and combustible gases. Therefore, a coordinated change index is established for the multi-component vector of each spatial unit k: ;in, The index represents the degree of coordination of changes in state components within spatial unit k; n represents the number of state components. Represents the correlation coefficient; S23. Establish a historical stable state benchmark for each spatial unit, including the long-term mean and standard deviation. Compare the deviation of the current state from the historical benchmark to identify abnormal changes that deviate from the normal range, and achieve spatial adaptive judgment. Specifically, establish a long-term historical stable state benchmark for each spatial unit: The deviation between the current state and the historical benchmark is defined as: ;in, This represents the historical stable state benchmark of spatial unit k, used as a reference for comparing the current state. , , and These represent the long-term average values ​​of the components, i.e., the normal operating status of the spatial unit; and The standard deviation of the key components is used to define the normal range of fluctuations. An indicator representing the deviation of the current state from the historical benchmark; Represents a small constant to prevent division by zero; J represents the set of summed state components, selecting the set of key risk components; S24, integrating risk sensitivity, component synergy, and historical deviation, constructs a low-dimensional risk feature vector, including the comprehensive risk activation degree, synergistic change intensity, and deviation degree, providing structured, risk-oriented input for subsequent risk transmission modeling. Specifically, after completing component sensitivity analysis, synergistic change analysis, and historical benchmark comparison, the spatial unit state is compressed into a risk-oriented feature vector: ; ;in, This represents the final risk feature vector of spatial unit k; The degree of activation of the overall risk of a space unit is represented by a weighted average of the risk sensitivity of individual components.

[0020] S3. Based on the risk feature vector output in step S2, a spatial transmission network of fire risk within the building is constructed through physical adjacency relationships, aerodynamic paths, and risk feature weighting. This enables dynamic propagation and evolvable modeling of local risks to the global risk profile. Neighbor correction and smoothing optimization are used to improve prediction stability and accuracy, providing a scientific basis for subsequent trend prediction. Specifically: S31. A spatial unit adjacency matrix is ​​constructed using building floor plan layout and airflow information. Airflow direction and wind speed are introduced to adjust the adjacency weights, forming a potential risk propagation path coupled with physical and aerodynamic principles. Specifically: using the building blueprint, the planar coordinates, door and window positions, and connectivity relationships of each spatial unit are obtained to generate an initial adjacency matrix; the airflow information from step S1 is then used to construct the spatial unit adjacency matrix. Incorporating adjacency weights, calculate the airflow impact for each pair of spatial cells k and l: Modeling of building air ducts, air conditioning systems, and natural ventilation paths is used as a supplement to weighted adjacency edges to ensure that risk propagation paths include both spatially adjacent elements and remote units that may be affected by aerodynamics. This represents the angle between the airflow direction of spatial cell k and the direction of the line connecting the neighboring cell l; This represents the geometric center distance between spatial cell k and its neighboring cell l; S32 represents the airflow guidance weight from spatial unit k to neighbor l; combining the risk feature vector from step S2, the potential impact of each unit on its neighbors is weighted and calculated, then multiplied by the airflow guidance matrix to obtain the risk coupling weight matrix between units, quantifying the risk transmission intensity. Specifically, this is done by using the risk feature vector from step S2. Define the potential influence of unit k on its neighbor l: aerodynamic weights As an adjustment factor, the final coupling weights are obtained: Combine all neighbor relationships to generate a complete weighted risk transmission matrix W(t), and record the source, destination, and weight of each edge for dynamic analysis; among which, , and The weighting coefficient representing the transmission of local risk characteristics to neighboring risks; This represents the potential risk impact of spatial unit k on its neighbor l (without considering airflow direction); Let represent the final risk coupling weight of spatial unit k with respect to its neighbor l (in conjunction with the airflow direction); W(t) represents the risk propagation weighting matrix of the entire building, composed of all Composition; S33, using spatial units as network nodes and risk weights between neighbors as edges, a dynamic and iterative risk propagation network is constructed. The node risk state is updated through an iterative formula to achieve continuous propagation of local risks to the entire building. Specifically: each spatial unit is treated as a network node, and each adjacency relationship... weighted value As edge weights; set the node attributes as the risk feature vector of step S2. This ensures that each node not only represents its location but also contains dynamic risk information; the network risk iterative update formula is defined as follows: Network iteration can be performed using discrete time steps. Simulates the propagation trend of fire risk within buildings, supporting multi-timescale analysis; among which... This indicates the predicted state of the risk network at the next time step; S34, introduce a neighbor average correction and smoothing mechanism to correct the risk state of each node, suppress local abnormal fluctuations, and improve the robustness of network prediction. This can also be optimized by considering personnel density and equipment operating status. Specifically, a neighbor average correction mechanism is introduced: Smoothly update the node's own risk status: ;in, Represents the set of neighbors of spatial unit k; This represents the average correction factor of node k's neighbors; This represents the time smoothing coefficient, with a value in [0,1]. This indicates the node risk status after correction and smoothing.

[0021] S4. Based on the dynamic risk network output of step S3, a multi-timescale fire risk trend prediction system is formed by constructing unit-level risk time series, short-term trend prediction, medium- and long-term risk evolution analysis, and confidence quantification. This enables the understanding of the risk situation at the unit, regional, and building levels. Specifically: S41. For each spatial unit, a historical risk series with a continuous time window is constructed based on the corrected risk status. Through normalization, denoising, and historical event enhancement, the time series is made robust and reliable, providing accurate input data for trend prediction. Specifically, for each spatial unit k, the corrected risk status output in step S34 is recorded. In continuous time window Internal historical sequence: The time series data is normalized and denoised using methods such as moving averages and exponentially weighted filtering to reduce the interference of instantaneous environmental fluctuations on the prediction results. Historical event labels (such as small smoke alarms and fire drill records) can be selectively introduced for sequence augmentation to improve the model's sensitivity to real risk signals. This represents the corrected risk state of spatial unit k at time t; Let k represent the set of risk time series for spatial unit k; S42, using a hybrid prediction model, perform short-term trend prediction on the risk time series of each unit and the risk status of its neighbors, outputting the future risk increment and direction of change for the unit, achieving highly sensitive early risk warning, specifically: for each unit's risk series Using a hybrid prediction model: Predicted output This characterizes the potential increase and trend direction of risk for a given unit in the short term; among them, This represents the predicted risk state of spatial unit k at a future time step; This represents a mixed prediction function for short-term risks, which can be combined with a lightweight LSTM model and a risk network graph convolution (GCN) to capture both time dependence and the influence of neighboring risks. Represents the set of neighboring units of spatial unit k; This represents the set of corrected risk states of spatial unit k's neighborhood at time t; S43, the short-term prediction results are rolled out to the medium and long term, combined with spatial aggregation to generate a regional risk index, and then weighted to form a building-wide risk evolution curve, realizing multi-level, multi-time-scale risk situation analysis and visualization, providing a basis for medium- and long-term prevention and control, specifically: using the short-term prediction results of step S42 as rolling input, a multi-step prediction sequence is constructed: Layered trend analysis is employed: Spatial aggregation layer: The risk of units on the same floor or functional area is weighted and averaged to form a regional risk index. Building-wide risk level: Weighted average of risk indices for all areas to generate a building-wide risk evolution curve. Weights can be set based on regional population density, combustible material distribution, and historical fire risk data; it generates risk trend visualizations: heat maps, risk curves, and risk level change animations, supporting managers in proactively intervening in and optimizing strategies for medium- and long-term fire risks; among which, This represents the prediction step index, which is the number of time steps that are extrapolated backwards from the current time. Indicates that spatial unit k is in the future. Predicted risk status at each time step; This represents the set of risk prediction states of spatial unit k-neighborhood in the previous prediction step; This represents a risk trend recursive function used to map the current risk state and its spatial correlation effects to the risk state at the next time step, thereby characterizing the accumulation, amplification, or attenuation trend of risk; S44, quantifying the confidence level of short-term and medium-to-long-term forecast results, combining forecast uncertainty with risk trends to generate a multi-timescale comprehensive risk index, providing robust short-term early warning, medium-term intervention, and long-term planning decision support for building management, specifically: introducing confidence level measures for short-term and medium-to-long-term forecast results: A comprehensive risk index with multiple time scales is generated by combining confidence level and predicted trend. A comprehensive multi-timescale analysis of the entire building is conducted, integrating short-term early warning, medium-term intervention, and long-term planning into unified risk situation decision-making information to support real-time early warning, emergency response, and long-term fire prevention strategies; among which, This represents the confidence level of risk prediction for spatial unit k at a future time. This represents the variance of the predicted risk outcome; This indicates the preset maximum allowable reference value for prediction variance; Represents a small positive number that is protected against division by zero; This represents the multi-timescale comprehensive risk index of spatial unit k.

[0022] S5. Based on the multi-timescale predicted risk results formed in step S4, the predicted fire risk is transformed into actionable intervention decisions. Through risk classification, response action generation, strategy optimization and execution, and effect feedback correction, a closed-loop evolution from risk assessment to proactive prevention and control is achieved, enabling the system to have the ability to intervene in advance, adjust dynamically, and learn continuously. Specifically: S51. Based on the comprehensive risk index and prediction confidence of the spatial unit at future moments, the risk situation is classified and analyzed, and a mapping relationship between risk level and intervention intensity is established. Under the premise of ensuring prediction reliability, the corresponding level of response is triggered, providing clear and controllable triggering conditions for subsequent intervention decisions. Specifically: For each spatial unit k, the comprehensive risk index of its future key moments is read. Based on building management objectives and safety regulations, risk continuity values ​​are mapped to response levels: Simultaneously, a confidence constraint is introduced: when the prediction confidence level falls below a preset lower limit, only a low-intrusion response is allowed to be triggered, avoiding misjudgments that could lead to resource waste or staff panic; among other things, This indicates the risk response level of spatial unit k in the future. The risk level mapping function is designed based on safety regulations, building management strategies, or empirical parameters. S52, Combining the building's spatial structure and risk distribution characteristics, dynamically generates multiple optional intervention actions for the spatial unit triggering the response, and evaluates the impact of each action on risk reduction and operational costs, forming a candidate set of response action combinations that balances safety and operational feasibility. Specifically, for the spatial unit k triggering the response, a set of candidate intervention actions is generated: The actions include, but are not limited to: adjusting ventilation or smoke extraction status, limiting the operating power of combustible equipment, activating local fire-fighting preparation units, and pre-emptively evacuating people or closing passageways; each action corresponds to an effectiveness function. Based on the spatial coupling relationship of buildings, the chain reaction of actions on neighboring areas should be considered to avoid local intervention causing increased risks in other areas; among them, Represents the set of candidate response actions for spatial unit k; This represents the i-th specific response action in the candidate action set; m represents the response action set in the candidate action set. Indicates a response action Expected effectiveness in reducing risk; Indicates a response action The execution costs or disruption to the normal operation of the building; Indicates a response action The resulting risk reduction; S53. In multi-spatial unit concurrent risk scenarios, determine response priorities based on predicted risk levels and spatial importance, and select the optimal set of intervention actions and execution order through optimization strategies to maximize the overall risk control effect under limited resource conditions. Specifically, construct a unit-level response optimization objective function: When multiple spatial units trigger responses simultaneously, a priority sorting method is introduced: ;in, This indicates the subset of response actions ultimately selected for execution; This represents the objective function for optimizing the response strategy. Indicates the trade-off coefficient; This indicates the response execution priority of spatial unit k; The importance weight of spatial unit k is indicated; S54. After the response action is executed, the environmental state after intervention is acquired in real time and compared with the prediction results. The intervention effect and prediction deviation are fed back to correct the parameters of the risk assessment and prediction model, thereby continuously improving the system's adaptability to the evolution of fire risk and response effect. Specifically, after the response action is executed, the environmental state is re-acquired to form the risk state after intervention: Compare the predicted risks with the actual changes in risks: Based on the deviation results, adaptive adjustments are made to: risk propagation weights, prediction model parameters, and response action effectiveness evaluation functions; the updated model parameters are then fed back to steps S3 and S4, forming a complete closed loop; among which, This indicates the amount of prediction error or intervention deviation; Indicates that spatial unit k is in the future time. Predicting risk status.

This system is used to execute the sensor network-based intelligent building fire risk assessment method proposed in Example 1. It includes: a multi-dimensional building environment perception and networked representation module, a spatial risk association modeling and neighborhood relationship calculation module, a dynamic risk network correction and risk transmission analysis module, a fire risk trend prediction and multi-timescale evolution analysis module, and a risk response strategy generation and adaptive intervention execution module.

[0024] The building multi-dimensional environmental perception and networked representation module is responsible for the continuous, real-time acquisition and digital representation of the multi-dimensional environmental status within the building. The module is equipped with various types of sensors, including those for temperature, smoke, combustible gases, humidity, and personnel density, transmitting the collected data to the system core via wireless or wired networks. The module performs calibration, noise reduction, and spatiotemporal indexing on the sensor data, generating multi-dimensional environmental state vectors and constructing a preliminary spatial network representation, enabling the environmental status of each spatial unit to form computable structured data within the system. The spatial risk correlation modeling and neighborhood relationship calculation module, based on the multi-dimensional environmental status, assesses the potential fire hazards in each spatial unit within the building. The module performs local risk assessment and constructs a spatial correlation network.
