Abstract
A device for selecting vehicles to be sent to a site of a fire is provided. The device includes a storage unit provided with a vehicle table and a fire-spreading condition table. Fire-extinguishing ability data and arrival time data for each vehicle are stored in the vehicle table as numerical data. Initial fire power data and fire-spreading rate data are stored in the fire-spreading condition table as numerical data. The device also includes a vehicle organizing part deriving a relationship between total fire-extinguishing ability of vehicles and total fire-spreading power of the fire with respect to time, and selecting vehicles to be sent to the fire site based on the relationship.
Claims11
A device for selecting vehicles to be sent to a site of a fire, said device comprising:
- first means provided with a first table in which fire-extinguishing ability data and arrival time data for each vehicle are stored as numerical data, said arrival time data representing time required for said vehicle to arrive at the fire site, and a second table in which initial fire power data and fire-spreading rate data are stored as numerical data;
- and
- second means for deriving a relationship between total fire-extinguishing ability of vehicles and total fire-spreading power of the fire with respect to time, and for selecting vehicles to be sent to the fire site based on said relationship.
A method comprising the steps of:
- a) reading a vehicle table to obtain fire-extinguishing ability data of a vehicle and arrival time data representing time required for the vehicle to arrive at a site of a fire;
- b) reading a fire-spreading condition table to obtain initial fire power data of said fire site and fire-spreading rate data;
- c) deriving a relationship between total fire-extinguishing ability of vehicles at the fire site and total fire-spreading power of the fire based on data read out from said vehicle table and from said fire-spreading condition table;
- and
- d) selecting vehicles to be sent to the fire site based on said relationship.
A system comprising:
- a vehicle-selecting device which selects vehicles to be sent to a site of a fire by estimating a condition of the fire using a vehicle table in which fire-extinguishing ability data and arrival time data for each vehicle are stored as numerical data and a fire-spreading condition table in which initial fire power data and fire-spreading rate data are stored as numerical data;
- a transmitting device which transmits a command to said selected vehicles or to a station to which said selected vehicles belong;
- and
- an output device which outputs said command.
A device for selecting vehicles to be sent to a location of a disaster, said device comprising:
- storage means provided with a vehicle table in which disaster-handling ability data and arrival time data for each vehicle are stored as numerical data, said arrival time data representing time required for said vehicle to arrive at the location of the disaster, and a disaster condition table for each affected object in which change of condition of the disaster is stored as numerical data;
- and
- a vehicle organizing part deriving a relationship between total disaster-handling ability of vehicles and total change of condition of the disaster with respect to time, and selecting vehicles to be sent to the location of the disaster based on said relationship.
