Understanding wildfires can also result in significant fiscal savings through improved planning and resource allocating. Currently, wildfire monitoring techniques are not accurate or efficient enough to optimally monitor this natural disaster. To help remedy this, the mobile multi-sensor research group of the University of Calgary is designing an innovative, real-time, internet based wildfire monitoring and modeling system. This system has the potential to impact the process of predicting wildfire propagation, resulting in reduced damage to the environment, enhanced safety and appreciable financial savings. This paper will discuss the design and functionality of the system which integrates four components into a data acquisition/processing system and accompanying GIS based web browser. The four components are: a thermal infrared imaging sensor, wireless communications, an inertial navigation system and a wildfire prediction model based on algorithms used by Prometheus (designed by the Alberta Government in 2003). The final system is able to locate hotspots of fires within five meters, predict where a fire will most likely propagate with time, detect smoldering fires underneath surface vegetation, and detect fires through smoke, haze and darkness with the highest possible accuracy and efficiency of any commercial wildfire model available today. INTRODUCTION 2.0 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DESIGN Wildfire management agencies have a need for a system that This wildfire monitoring and modeling system (WMMS) can be can estimate the propagation and intensity of spreading broken down into three main sub-systems. These sub-systems wildfires. ^ Understanding the behavioral characteristics of can be identified as the data Acquisition System, Control wildfires and how they spread through various vegetation types Center System and Response System. The functionalities of and terrains are a major concern for environmental agencies, each sub-system are shown in Figure 1. government officials and the general public. If unmonitored or poorly modeled, manageable fires can grow out of control, potentially devastate entire ecosystems and alter local weather patterns (Johnson, 2001). Wildfires can also destroy thousands of acres worth of prime revenue growing lumber resources that are essential to the economies of some countries (Johnson, € , Cas : 2001). Furthermore, wildfires can rage near cities and towns collecting: WADGPS, INS and consume the homes and treasures of the citizens (O’Brian, . Image collecting: 2003). Video Camera and Thermal Camera Data Acquisition System e Hotspot and fire line detecting e Location and time data Currently, Canada lacks a standard fire modeling software program. Each fire agency in each Canadian province, and even districts within provinces, use different programs to Y predict wildfire behavior and how to orchestrate suppression attacks. This can create difficulty when trying to fight fires that Control Center System Response System cross provincial borders and creates a gap in communication (Web based WMMS) ® Information when trying to learn from fires that occurred in other provinces. * Data processing reporting to fire This research paper explores the design and implementation of e Fire propagation = managers and a robust, near real time, internet based, wildfire monitoring and predicting general public in modeling system that meets the standards of all the fire districts e Fire status monitoring real-time within Alberta, Canada. This system could be used province- wide to help different agencies and districts communicate more efficiently with each other and could also allow the public to Figure 1: Logical Model Design for the Mobile Mapping view current provincial fire situations from their personal System computers. 65
