Geographic Reasoning on Multi-Modal Fire Spread Data

This paper presents the general architecture of a multi-sensor GIS platform, i.e., fireGIS, which serves as a guideline for effective use of sensor data and geographic information in systems for fire incident management. The proposed platform allows the generation of real-time heatmaps that show the space-time distribution of fire risk levels across an area of concern based on multi-modal sensing. Such levels are to assist the decision makers in taking actions and aims at facilitating quick fire emergency response. Results of real fire experiments in a large-scale road tunnel show the feasibility of our approach.
