This book was released on 2022-06-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook aims at modernizing the current state of civil engineering and firefighting, especially in this era where infrastructures are reaching new heights, serving diverse populations, and being challenged by unique threats. Its aim is to set the stage toward realizing contemporary, smart, and resilient infrastructure. The Handbook of Cognitive and Autonomous Systems for Fire Resilient Infrastructures draws convergence between civil engineering and firefighting to the modern realm of interdisciplinary sciences (i.e., artificial intelligence, IoT, robotics, sensing, and human psychology). As such, this work aims to revolutionize the current philosophy of design for one of the most notorious extreme events: fire. Unlike other publications, which are narrowed to one specific research area, this handbook cultivates a paradigm in which critical aspects of structural design, technology, and human behavior are studied and examined through chapters written by leaders in their fields. This handbook can also serve as a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students in Civil, Mechanical, and Fire Protection engineering programs as well as for students in Architectural and social science disciplines. Students, engineers, academics, professionals, scientists, firefighters, and government officials involved in national and international societies such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), among others, will benefit from this handbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of forest environment in the perspective of the biodiversity as well as from the economic resources which forests enclose, is more than evident. Any threat posed to this critical component of the environment should be identified and attacked through the use of the most efficient available technological means. Early warning and immediate response to a fire event are critical in avoiding great environmental damages. Fire risk assessment, reliable detection and localization of fire as well as motion planning, constitute the most vital ingredients of a fire protection system. In this chapter, we review the evolution of the forest fire protection systems and emphasize on open issues and the improvements that can be achieved using artificial intelligence technology. We start our tour from the pillars which were for a long time period, the only possible method to oversee the forest fires. Then, we will proceed to the exploration of early AI systems and will end-up with nowadays systems that might receive multimodal data from satellites, optical and thermal sensors, smart phones and UAVs and use techniques that cover the spectrum from early signal processing algorithms to latest deep learning-based ones to achieving the ultimate goal.

Download or read book Forest Fire Prediction Frameworks Using Federated Learning and Internet of Things IoT written by Richard Purcell and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest fire ignition prediction is of paramount importance in safeguarding communities. Machine learning is a promising tool to enhance this. There is, however, a scarcity of publicly accessible forest fire ignition datasets. Moreover, existing platforms, such as the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System, underutilize machine learning capabilities for forest fire ignition classification prediction. Addressing the lack of forest fire ignition datasets and the untapped potential of machine learning, we propose two novel frameworks. One generates forest fire ignition prediction datasets for diverse geographic regions. The other incorporates federated machine learning and Internet of Things technologies to enable efficient and accurate forest fire ignition classification prediction. We evaluate the effectiveness of datasets instantiated from our data framework using various machine learning models. Additionally, using a simulated federated machine learning system we demonstrate prediction accuracy comparable to a centralized system with superior spatial granularity in classifying forest fire ignitions.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a project conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a user-friendly, portable, low-cost global positioning system (GPS) receiver, as well as a notebook-based desktop mapping system, to facilitate rapid updating, inventory, and analysis of forest fires on a near real-time basis. Field trials of the GPS/desktop mapping system consisted of using aerial GPS to determine fire perimeter, to locate hot spots and lightning strikes, and to identify values at risk. Ground GPS was used to survey logging roads, values at risk, and prescribed burn perimeters, and to access certain locations using helicopter-borne GPS. Traditional mapping methods were then compared with the GPS/desktop mapping system. Operational testing of the GPS/desktop system was completed in 1993 by a fire crew in the Sault Ste. Marie district of Ontario.
Download or read book Advancing Wildfire Fuel Mapping and Burn Severity Assessment in Alaskan Boreal Forest Using Multi sensor Remote Sensing written by Christopher William Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildfires in Alaska have been increasing in frequency, size, and intensity putting a strain on communities across the state, especially remote communities lacking firefighting infrastructure to address large scale fire events. Advances in remote sensing techniques and data provide an opportunity to generate high quality map products that can better inform fire managers to allocate resources to areas of most risk and inform scientists how to predict and understand fire behavior. The overarching goal of this thesis is therefore to build insight into methods that can be applied to create highly detailed fire statistic map products in Alaska. To address this overarching goal we tested several methods for generating fire fuel, burn severity, and wildfire hazard maps that were validated using data collected in the field. Applying the Random Forest classifier on Airborne Visible/ Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Next-Generation (AVIRIS-NG) hyperspectral data we were able to produce a fire fuel map with an 81% accuracy. We then tested two supervised machine learning classifiers, post fire standard spectral indices, and differenced spectral indices for their performance in assessing burn severity. We found that supervised machine learning classifiers outperform other algorithms when there is an adequate amount of training data. Using the support vector machine and random forest classifiers we were able to generate burn severity maps with 83% accuracy at the 2019 Shovel Creek Fire. Lastly, we looked for a relationship between burn severity and environmental conditions prevalent during the Shovel Creek and Nugget Creek fires. Overall, these products can be used by fire managers and scientists to assess fire risk, limit the damages caused by wildfires through adequate resource allocation, and provide the guidelines for creating future high quality fire fuel maps.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian Forest Fire Behaviour System is a systematic methodfor assessing wildland fore behaviour potential. The guide provides a simplified version of the system, presented in tabular format. It was prepared to assist staff in making first approximations of FBP system outputs when computer-based applications arenot available. Quantitative estimates of head fire spread rate, fire intensity, type of fire, and elliptical fire area, perimeter, and perimeter growth rate are provided for sixteen discrete fuel types within five broad groupings (coniferous, deciduous, and mixedwood forests, logging slash, and hrass), covering mostof the major forest fuel types found in Canada. The FBP system is intended to supplement the experience and judgment of fire managers.
