Abstract |
|
The aim of this application is to provide forest fire management solutions. In this module are presented two functionalities of the application (Fire Simulation & Evacuation-Routing Service). Fire Simulation calculates the fire propagation depending on meteorological conditions, on terrain layout and fuel content. The users by clicking on the map (defining the ignition point of the fire) and inserting the desired parameters can view the spatiotemporal evolution of the fire. Moreover they can enter default values for some parameters. Evacuation-Routing Service enables the routing of Firefighting Forces towards the frond of the fire and the evacuation of the area of citizens. The service generates the best available evacuation route. The optimum route is calculated dynamically based on (i) the nearest distance, and (ii) the fire’s predicted evolution for the next few hours. |
