Abstract

In recent years wireless LAN (WLAN) service has been provided in many companies, universities, hotels, coffee shops and even in the street. Thus, the number of WLAN users is growing at a remarkable rate. Kyoto Women´s University has offered WLAN service with many access points in centralized control style since 2011 and many people in the university can connect their devices to WLAN. It is useful for evacuation planning to grasp when and where people gather, and therefore, it is worth understanding the trends of WLAN use in each organization at all times. In this paper, the author reports the trends of WLAN use in the university to good use in an evacuation plan.
