Forest Fire Simulation Using 2d Cellular Automata

چکیده
Since many decades different parts of world's forest environment undergo depletion because of many factors but major depletion is due to random forest fires a state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat and flame. This causes destruction of a building, town, forest etc. In Andhra Pradesh the forest area to geographical area is about 23.2% with dense forest occupying 23,048 km, open forest 19,859 km and mangrove vegetation of about 383 km. Most dominant forests are dry deciduous and moist deciduous forests. Forecasting the fire spread in forest environment by graphical simulation is useful for prompt fire-fighting and to save natural forest environment of the country. In order to understand the growth and speed of the fire, a simulation is carried out using Cellular Automata. In this research, we have proposed an ideation to develop an Android based application that simulates the fire spread in the forest environment. For this purpose, 2D-Cellular Automata (CA) is used. Using CA one can forecast the spread of fire and the possibilities of self arresting capability, in a short duration. To achieve this, the map data of the forest area is necessar y, which would be obtained by lattice map generation using available methods. The effectiveness of this simulation application depends on the generated map. As a case study 1972m area of the Nallamala Forest is modelled and the simulation is carried out by giving several options of the ignition points and results are compared. * Corresponding author. This is useful to know for communication with the appropriate person in cases with more than one author.

Forest fire models are generally used in different aspects of fire management and are helpful in understanding and prediction of fire behavior. Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. This helps fire fighters to focus on an area with greater risk and to develop better substructure for fire fighter training and ultimately to plan fire-f...
متن کاملA stochastic Forest Fire Model for future land cover scenarios assessment
Land cover is affected by many factors including economic development, climate and natural disturbances such as wildfires. The ability to evaluate how fire regimes may alter future vegetation, and how future vegetation may alter fire regimes, would assist forest managers in planning management actions to be carried out in the face of anticipated socio-economic and climatic change. In this paper...

Traditional simulation methodology supports only changes in models state variables. Some models are better expressed by a combination of both changes in state variables and changes in structure. Dynamic Structure Discrete Event Specification (DSDEVS) is a recently introduced modelling and simulation formalism that provides full support for representing models with time varying structure. The DE...
