Abstract This study is on designing a knowledge-based information system for evacuation situation awareness in case of fire. First, the design this system, various progress urban fires was stored and learned database so that multiple fire situations could be recognized. In addition, it to actively applied disaster prevention through Fire Dynamics Simulator can used situational evacuees property...

The aim of this paper is to present an original modelling tool for biogeographical systems. This software named LUCAS (LUcifer Cellular Automata Simulator) has been developed within the European programme LUCIFER (Land Use Change Interactions with Fire in MeditERrranean landscapes). LUCAS constitutes general software, based on coupling local dynamics described by a set of nonlinear ordinary dif...

A significant amount of research has been conducted on the resource allocation in fire departments (RAFD) and literature reviews about protection service (FPS), but to best our knowledge, no have RAFD. Therefore, purpose this is review allocating resources urban (FDs) gain state-of-the-art knowledge RAFD identify most frequent methodologies measures studies. five-stage structured (SLR) undertak...

In recent years, natural ventilation technology is extensively used in order to improve indoor environment quality and reduce power consumption of air-conditioning systems in green buildings. However, the effect of natural ventilation on fires needs to be evaluated carefully, and how to make these energy-saving buildings safe is a topic worth studying. This study uses Fire Dynamics Simulator on...

This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...

A fire growth model (FARSITE) has been developed for use on personal computers (PC’s). Because PC’s are commonly used by land and fire managers, this portable platform would be an accustomed means to bring fire growth modeling technology to management applications. The FARSITE model is intended for use in projecting the growth of prescribed natural fires for wilderness areas. The PC model requi...

BACKGROUND Emissions from solid fuels used for cooking cause ~4 million premature deaths per year. Advanced solid-fuel cookstoves are a potential solution, but they should be assessed by appropriate performance indicators, including biological effects. OBJECTIVE We evaluated two categories of solid-fuel cookstoves for eight pollutant and four mutagenicity emission factors, correlated the muta...

In the RoboCup Rescue Simulation Project, several kinds of simulator such as Building-Collapse and Road-Blockage Simulator, Fire Spread Simulator and Tra c Flow Simulator are expected to provide a complicated situation in the case of the large-scale disaster through their synergistic e ect. It is called Simulator Complex. This article addresses, rst, system components of the prototype version o...

Boolean finite dynamical systems (FDS) are commonly used in biology to model the dynamics of intracellular regulatory networks and interpret emergence cellular behaviors. Given a FDS, we can compute corresponding network, that is directed signed graph representing all interactions between components (genes), endowed with logical rules specifying behavior system. We consider asynchronous traject...
