Abstract: To conclude the research and future trends of intelligent firefighting suits, this paper uses information visualization and network analysis methods to creat a visual information graph based on literature from the Web of Science (WoS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases from January 1999 to June 2024 serves as the data source. The results show that South Korea, India, China and USA are the main research countries, with Donghua University, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China Academy of Sciences and Soochow University accounting for the majority of the core institutions. Research hotspots are human thermal physiology and comfort, workers' safety protection, and textile sensor technology. The paper also focuses on the composition of intelligent firefighting suits, intelligent safety assessment systems, and the innovative application of integrating various sensors with flexible electronic textiles. The development of a personnel safety assessment system based on intelligent firefighting suits is a future research direction in the field of firefighting, providing references and suggestions for the development of intelligent firefighting suits that combines comfort and safety.
