Abstract EN
Containing a wildfire requires an efficient response and persistent monitoring.
A crucial aspect is the ability to search for the boundaries of the wildfire by exploring a wide area.
However, even as wildfires are increasing today, the number of available monitoring systems that can provide support is decreasing, creating an operational gap and slow response in such urgent situations.
The objective of this work is to estimate a propagating boundary and create an autonomous system that works in real time.
It proposes a coordination strategy with a new methodology for estimating the periphery of a propagating phenomenon using limited observations.
The complete system design, tested on the high-fidelity simulation, demonstrates that steering the vehicles toward the highest perpendicular uncertainty generates the effective predictions.
The results indicate that the new coordination scheme has a large beneficial impact on uncertainty suppression.
This study thus suggests that an efficient solution for suppressing uncertainty in monitoring a wildfire is to use a fleet of low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles that can be deployed quickly.
Further research is needed on other deployment schemes that work in different natural disaster case studies.
