The application of MAS towards simulation of forest fire spreading

Abstract

With the rapid development of spatial information technology and the increasingly artificial intelligence knowledge, multi-Agent Systems technology plays a more and more important role in conducting fire behavior forecast, in order to simplify the complex mechanism of fire spreading and improve the simulation speed, according to the law of conservation of energy, fire spreading Agent model was set up. This paper,which analyzing comprehensively fire spreading model and some influenced factors, is concentrated on how to stimulate fire spreading regularity base on the knowledge of mathematics and computer,an interactive fire spreading simulation model based on MAS and GIS information feedback mechanism is put forward., Fire spreading Agents participating in it can exchange knowledge and information with each other, and achieve a consistent decision to form an acceptable scheme through feedbacks and coordination. Finally the results show that this model not only better simulates fire spreading under different scenarios, but also provides effectively solutions to fire suppression planning. © 2013 SERSC.
