1. 1. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. READ MORE

3. 2. A Web Application for Wildfire Spread Prediction and Visualisation in Sweden Using Geospatial Data and Technology

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Micael Makenzius; Jonas Bylerius; [2022]
   Keywords : Prometheus; wildfire progression; real-time; python; Django; google earth engine; Mapbox GL JS; web-application; Prometheus; skogsbrands simulering; realtid; python; Django; google earth engine; Mapbox GL JS; webbapplikation;

   Abstract : Skogsbränder är kraftfulla naturfenomen kapabla att åstakomma omfattande skada över stora ytor och medföra omfattande kostnader för sammhället både humanitärt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt. Det finns därför ett starkt incitament att övervaka och förutspå skogsbränders utveckling och spridning. READ MORE

4. 3. 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

5. 4. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Muthia Khairunisa Jaelani; [2022]
   Keywords : Wildfire; evacuation; WUI fire; evacuation modelling; traffic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. READ MORE

6. 5. 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
