Visualization of Real-Time Forest Firefighting Inference and Fire Resource Allocation Simulation Technology

In recent years, the increasing frequency of forest fires has threatened ecological and social security. Due to the risks of traditional fire drills, three-dimensional visualization technology has been adopted to simulate forest fire management. This paper presents an immersive decision-making framework for forest firefighting, designed to simulate the response of resources during fires. First, a fire resource scheduling optimization model for multiple fire stations is proposed. This model integrates the characteristics of fire spread with a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) framework, aiming to minimize response time and firefighting costs. It enables flexible resource scheduling optimization under various fire spread scenarios and constraints on firefighting resources. Second, the ant lion optimization algorithm (ALO) is enhanced, incorporating multiple firefighting weighting factors such as the density, distance, and wind direction of burning trees. This improvement allows for the dynamic selection of priority firefighting targets, facilitating the precise allocation of resources to efficiently complete fire suppression tasks. Finally, a three-dimensional virtual forest environment is developed to simulate real-time actions and processes during firefighting operations. The proposed framework provides an immersive and visualized real-time fire simulation method, offering valuable support for decision-making in forest fire management.
