  • Szendro - type Integrated Vegetation Fire Management--Wildfire Management Program from Hungary
    2020
    Co-Authors: Agoston Restas
    Abstract:

    Szendrő Fire Department is located in the northeastern part of Hungary. The main task is to fight against wildfire and mitigate the impact of fire at the Aggtelek National Park -- which belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage list. Because of greater effectiveness, in 2004 the Fire Department started a project named Integrated Vegetation Fire Management (IVFM). The IVFM consist of two main parts: Peripheries and Modules. The land use planning, finance, public relations, education, media connections, protective equipment belongs to Peripheries. The Modules are: Tower based environment monitoring and fire detection system, Mobile command control unit and Static and dynamic decision support system. The tower based environment and fire detection system address the Fire Department by hot information. The signal to the Fire Department is not depends on subjectivity; the alarm sign is in fire fighters hand. It means the start of intervention can be as soon as possible. The project develops a static and dynamic decision support system. It is based on robot Reconnaissance Aircraft (UAV)-- dynamic parts; and the GIS -- static parts. The data supplied by the robot Reconnaissance Aircraft is combined with the GIS based fuel model and other information to predict the fire activity. The system provides fire fighters accurate information to increase efficiency of fire fighting.

The Tower based environment monitoring and fire detection system address the Fire Department by hot information. The Static and dynamic decision support system is based on robot Reconnaissance Aircraft (UAV-RRA)- dynamic parts; and the GIS - static parts. The data supplied by the robot Reconnaissance Aircraft is combined with the GIS based fuel model and other information to predict the fire activity. The environment monitoring and fire detection system and the Dynamic part (UAV-RRA) of Decision support system based on remote sensing.

  • Forest Fire Management Supporting by UAV Based Air Reconnaissance Results of Szendro Fire Department, Hungary
    2006 First International Symposium on Environment Identities and Mediterranean Area, 2006
    Co-Authors: Agoston Restas
    Abstract:

    Szendro Fire Department is located in the northeastern part of Hungary. The main task is to fight against wildfire and mitigate the impact of fire at the Aggtelek National Park - which belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage list. In 2004 the Fire Department started a project named Integrated Vegetation Fire Management (IVFM). The IVFM consist of two main parts: Peripheries and Modules. The Dynamic Decision Support System belongs to the Modules, which is based on a special unmanned aerial vehicle named robot Reconnaissance Aircraft (UAV-RRA). The Decision Support System is based on remote sensing. Szendro Fire Department made last years some real fire experiment supporting the Reconnaissance by UAVs. The results strong it this tool can be very useful and effective in the future.

  • robot Reconnaissance Aircraft for fighting forest fires
    2004
    Co-Authors: Agoston Restas
    Abstract:

    The author try to present the possibility of using a robot ‘drone’ Aircraft for supporting efforts to extinguish fo rest fires and demonstrate the viability of the notion on the basis of both economy and efficiency. The fact that the lecture concerns forest fires is no accident. The proportion of forested areas in the district of Szendr� – which is the duty place of the author – is well in excess of the national average and also includes about 90 percent of the Aggtelek National Park, parts of which feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Therefore, for the author, improving preventive measures against forest fires an d efficiency in extinguishing them is not only an option but also an obligation.

  • nasa usra high altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft
    1990
    Co-Authors: Michael Richardson, Juan Gudino, Kenny Chen, Tai Luong, Dave Wilkerson, Anoosh Keyvani
    Abstract:

    At the equator, the ozone layer ranges from approximately 80,000 to 130,000+ feet which is beyond the capabilities of the ER-2, NASA's current high altitude Reconnaissance Aircraft. This project is geared to designing an Aircraft that can study the ozone layer at the equator. This Aircraft must be able to cruise at 130,000 lbs. of payload. In addition, the Aircraft must have a minimum of a 6,000 mile range. The low Mach number, payload, and long cruising time are all constraints imposed by the air sampling equipment. A pilot must be able to take control in the event of unforseen difficulties. Three Aircraft configurations were determined to be the most suitable for meeting the above requirements, a joined-wing, a bi-plane, and a twin-boom conventional airplane. The techniques used have been deemed reasonable within the limits of 1990 technology. The performance of each configuration is analyzed to investigate the feasibility of the project requirements. In the event that a requirement can not be obtained within the given constraints, recommendations for proposal modifications are given.
