An Adaptive Algorithm for Forest Fire Spread Based on Genetic Algorithm
Chun Yuan Chang · Advanced materials research · 2013
The spread of forest fire is a complex adaptive system. The spread could be seen as the result of fire agents continuous learning, adaptation and co-ordination. This paper founded an Agent-based model for forest fire spread, modeled the generating of fire spread rules based on Genetic Algorithms. Created the spread rules with effect of wind and topography independently for forest fire, designed the fitness function, and took the genetic operation on the rules, which created new rules. Implemented the adaptive algorithm on Repast S, and used it in the Agent-based model of forest fire spread. The result of models running indicated the adaptive algorithm could improve the adaptive ability of fire agent.
