- This paper resulted from EU FP7 project GETAWAY (265717) (http://bit.ly/FSEG_GETAWAY). The paper explored the effectiveness of a revolutionary new signage concept developed by the authors known as Active Dynamic Signage Systems (ADSS). The developments presented in this paper refined the original concept improving its effectiveness and demonstrated its effectiveness in a full-scale evacuation demonstration. The concept explored in the paper won The Guardian University Ideas Bank Award 2014 (http://bit.ly/award_getaway). The work has implications for building safety around the world. The concept has been commercialised in the UK by SME EVACLITE (https://www.evaclite.com/directional-safety-signage-systems) and in Australia/UK by market leader CLEVERTRONICS (https://www.cleverevac.com.au)
