A Tool for Analyzing and Simulating Fire Department Configuration

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The fire department configuration, which determines the number
and the locations of fire stations as well as the formation of
fire trucks, is a key element to achieve efficient fire
fighting operations under limited resources. In this paper, we
develop a tool, called FD-CAST, which visualizes estimated
arrival information of fire trucks for given fire department
configuration. FD-CAST first computes the distance and time
between every pair of a fire station and a town block, based
on the configuration and geographic information. Then,
assuming that a fire occurs at a town block, FD-CAST derives a
designated set of fire trucks to be dispatched and their
estimated time of arrival. The result is visualized in a
table and a choropleth map. A user can also
simulate various situations by modifying the configuration
information. We have implemented a prototype of FD-CAST, and
conducted case studies with practical examples. Through
feedback from fire officers, we confirm the effectiveness of
FD-CAST for analyzing the fire department configuration
problem.
