On January 27th 2011 about 200 children between 6 and 13 years old were involved in a test aimed to assess how the technological devices developed in SAVE-ME (www.save-me.eu) could effectively support people (including children, elderly and impaired) in quick and optimal mass evacuation from underground facilities.

Members of the HMI (Human-Machine Interaction) Group of the Department of Sciences and Methods for Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia supported the Italian National Fire Corps (Vigili del Fuoco) in the test organization and management, together with two other project partners: IES Solutions and the University of Stuttgart.
