Large outdoor fires present a risk to the built environment. Wildfires that spread into
communities, referred to as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, have destroyed …

Swarm intelligence (SI) is concerned with the collective behaviour that emerges from
decentralised self-organising systems, whilst swarm robotics (SR) is an approach to the self …

Wind and fire phenomena can together be a devastating force, whether in the case of a
building fire, release of smoke in an urban area or forest fire near an urban habitat. Most of …

Fire Spread Rate (FSR) can indicate how fast a fire is spreading, which is especially helpful
for wildfire rescue and management. Historically, images obtained from sun-orbiting …

A learning-based wildfire spread model was developed in this study to predict short-term
wildfire spread. Real-time rate of spread (RoS) measurement was first conducted by …

One of the finest and most powerful assets of Finsler geometry is its ability to model,
describe, and analyse in precise geometric terms an abundance of physical phenomena …

In recent times there have been increasing efforts to integrate technology into wildfire
management, especially in the fields of tactical monitoring and simulation. On the one hand …

A variety of remote sensing techniques have been applied to forest fires. However, there is
at present no system capable of monitoring an active fire precisely in a totally automated …

A wildfire forecasting tool capable of estimating the fire perimeter position sufficiently in
advance of the actual fire arrival will assist firefighting operations and optimise available …

As bias and uncertainties inevitably exist on both wildland fire model states and parameters,
fire simulations do not always accurately forecast the temporal and spatial progression of …
