1. 1. The Application of a Wildfire Evacuation Tool to Swedish locations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Johannes Jovlunden; [2022]
   Keywords : Wildfire evacuations; evacuation simulation; wildfire simulation; WUI-NITY; FARSITE; Prometheus; Swedish wildfire evacuations; geo-spatial data; computer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. READ MORE

3. 2. Validation of WUI-NITY compared to real-world data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Jonatan Edenvik; [2022]
   Keywords : Wildland urban interface; Wildfires; Community evacuation; Real-world simulation; WUI-NITY; PeMS; Pedestrian simulation; Traffic simulation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. READ MORE

4. 3. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Adam Ardinge; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI-NITY; WUI; V V; traffic evacuation; WUI fire evacuation; simulation model; verification testing; validation testing; Kincade; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the verification and validation testing performed on the evacuation simulation platform WUI-NITY which has the aim of being a simulation tool for the integration of different layers, such as pedestrian, traffic and wildfire with evolving dynamic interactions. The present thesis aims at applying a set of verification tests and validation testing suitable for WUI-NITY with a focus on the traffic component. READ MORE

5. 4. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Afroza Mallick; [2021]
   Keywords : WUI-NITY; fire evacuation tool; evacuation; wildland-urban interface.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment.
