Automated control methodology of fire extinguishing means scientific substantiation

Abstract

The issue of firefighters territorial dispersal along the perimeter of a forest fire during its extinguishing is considered. Justification of firefighters’ coordination actions in a constantly changing external environment, taking into account the tasks facing the head of extinguishing a forest fire, was provided. The urgency of creating an automated control system for the forces and means of extinguishing a forest fire, as well as methods of controlling the forces and means of fire extinguishing in the elimination of large forest fires were substantiated. The main tasks underlying the methods of fire extinguishing forces management and technical solutions were given, such as the formation of situational awareness for participants in fire extinguishing and ensuring effective communication through the introduction of its new forms between participants in extinguishing. The implementation of this technique in the form of an automated control system was presented. This will be part of the subsystem of the ISDM-Rosleskhoz remote monitoring information system. The theoretical analysis of the main management tasks arising from the head of extinguishing a forest fire is carried out. Taking into account intellectual and technical developments, the rationale for the feasibility of integrating the subsystem into the existing remote monitoring information system of the Federal Forestry Agency is given. The significance of the work is identified, which consists in the development of algorithms for the automated formation of recommendations for making managerial decisions when organizing the extinguishing large forest fires, the introduction of electronic forms of communication when extinguishing a forest fire. Information links between participants of production processes are defined. An example of drawing up a scheme for extinguishing a forest fire is given. The procedure of actions of the head of extinguishing a forest fire and the heads of subordinate units, as well as a typical algorithm of their work, is presented. The blocks of the automated control system for each stage of its creation are indicated. The planned results of the study are presented.
