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 BrandteknikSammanfattning : 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).

2. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : 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
3. Validation of WUI-NITY compared to real-world data
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : 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
4. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : 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
5. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees.
