An Event-Response Tree-Based Resource Scheduling Method for Wildfire Fighting

Dispatching firefighting resources effectively plays a vital role in wildfire management. To control the fire timely manner, should be dispatched an effective and reasonable way. Moreover, relationship between various resource-dispatching processes intuitive for firefighters to make decisions. In this paper, we propose novel event-response tree-based model dispatch different kinds of based on suppression index (SI), which evaluates effect by considering time, cost, dispatching resources. validate proposed method, compared it with widely used mixed-integer programming (MIP) using historical data Nanjing Laoshan National Forest Park. The results showed that E-R resource scheduling can schedule as well MIP model. is clear
