1. 1. Exploring the Feasibility of Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to Improve the Calculation of the Wildfire Available Safe Egress Time

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Författare :Alfred El Haddad; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Wildfire; Trigger buffer; WUI; WASET; FDS; QGIS; Level set; WUI evacuation.; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This thesis aims to investigate the effect of smoke from a WUI fire on the tenability conditions of a small village and to establish a worst-case-scenario trigger boundary around it as an improved basis for the WUI available safe egress time (WASET).

3. 2. The Application of a Wildfire Evacuation Tool to Swedish locations

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

5. 4. Validation of WUI-NITY compared to real-world data

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

7. 5. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
