The continuous research and development regarding firefighters’ personal protective equipment (PPE) has led to significant improvements in recent decades. Despite the evolution of PPE, every year an undesirable number firefighters are seriously burned during firefighting operations, with some them eventually losing their lives. protection given by PPE can be further increased incorporation smar...

The Firefighter problem is to place firefighters on the vertices of a graph to prevent a fire with known starting point from lighting up the entire graph. In each time step, a firefighter may be permanently placed on an unburned vertex and the fire spreads to its neighborhood in the graph in so far no firefighters are protecting those vertices. The goal is to let as few vertices burn as possibl...

nowadays protecting land cover, quality and quantity of water resources are important. surface runoff is one of most important reasons of soil erosion which causes sediment in reservoirs and reduction of land’s fertility and also quality reduction water of rivers. so the main issue is exact prediction of basin runoff to raining events. the hydrologic models are simplified models of real hydrolo...

A virtual environment (VE) of portions of the ex-USS Shadwell, the Navy's full-scale fire research and test ship, has been developed to study the feasibility of using immersive VE as a tool for shipboard firefighting training and mission rehearsal. The VE system uses a headmounted display and 3D joystick to allow users to navigate through and interact with the environment. Fire and smoke effect...

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), colloquially known as drones, has grown rapidly over the past two decades and continues to expand at a rapid pace. This resulted in production many research papers addressing UAVs variety applications, such forest firefighting. main purpose this paper is provide comprehensive overview UAV-based forest-fire-extinguishing activity (FFEA) operations. To ...

This thesis investigates the design of human computer interaction techniques for ubiquitous computing solutions in firefighting. Research Area: Human-Computer Interaction Design for Safety Critical Ubiquitous Computing

The efficiency of the aerial drop of firefighting agents (water and retardants) is extremely dependent on pilot skills in dealingwith complex atmospheric conditions, mostly because on-board systems for computer-assisted drops have not yet been used operationally. Hence, numerical modelling tools can be of primary importance for the optimisation of firefighting operations and in the testing of n...
