Application of a location model to fire stations in Rotterdam
This report is an outgrowth of a research project carried out by the Operations Research Group of Twente University of Technology in cooperation with the Department Fire-Brigade Affairs (Home Office) and the Rotterdam l-ire Department. The objectives of the project were to determine the minimal number of fire stations, their locations and the number of first attendance pumpers, so that each poi...
متن کاملGlobal estimation of burned area using MODIS active fire observations
We present a method for estimating monthly burned area globally at 1 spatial resolution using Terra MODIS data and ancillary vegetation cover information. Using regression trees constructed for 14 different global regions, MODIS active fire observations were calibrated to burned area estimates derived from 500-m MODIS imagery based on the assumption that burned area is proportional to counts of...
متن کاملRunning head : CLIMATE AND ECOPROVINCE FIRE AREA BURNED 1 2 CLIMATE AND WILDFIRE AREA BURNED IN WESTERN U
23 We demonstrate that wildfire area burned (WFAB) in the American West was significantly 24 controlled by climate (combinations of precipitation, temperature, and/or drought) during most 25 of the 20 century (1916-2003). Persistent, ecosystem-specific correlations between climate 26 variables and area burned are grouped by vegetation type for 16 ecoprovinces across the West. 27 Most mountainou...
متن کاملSiting samplers to minimize expected time to detection.
We present a probabilistic approach to designing an indoor sampler network for detecting an accidental or intentional chemical or biological release, and demonstrate it for a real building. In an earlier article, Sohn and Lorenzetti developed a proof of concept algorithm that assumed samplers could return measurements only slowly (on the order of hours). This led to optimal "detect to treat" ar...
