1. 1. 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

3. 2. 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

4. 3. 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

5. 4. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Författare :Rona Tyler; [2021]
   Nyckelord :WUI fire; evacuation modelling; wildfire; evacuation; traffic modelling; pedestrian modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : 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.

7. 5. A review of traffic models for wildland-urban interface wildfire evacuation

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Författare :Albin Bergstedt; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Wildfire; wildfire evacuation; WUI evacuation; evacuation modelling; evacuation behavior; wildland urban interface; large-scale evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Recent years have seen an increased prevalence of wildfires, some of which has spread into the wildland-urban interface and lead to large-scale evacuations. Large-scale evacuations gives rise to both logistical and traffic related issues. LÄS MER
