Abstract: |
We
report in this paper on an experiment in implement- ing
a fire spread modelling system specifically
dedicated to fire-fighting activities. First, the corresponding oper- ational framework is
introduced. In particular, we stress the importance of time constraints.
Then, forest fire mod- elling techniques as well as
some considerations related to our experience and feedback on this issue are
briefly tackled. Then, we bring in a model which appears as
a mix between the shape approach and raster based mod- els. This one involves both a raster representation of
the landscape and an elliptical shape based approach. We conclude on the fact
that the corresponding software sys- tem calculates fire contours which are
correlated with ac- tual ones provided the basic
local rates of spread are ac- curately estimated. |
