A GIS Based Assistant Information System for Forest Fire Prevention Direction

Article Preview

Abstract:

Forest fire is one of the most detrimental factors affecting forest resources. Forest fire prevention and suppression requires a lot of information of fire field in decision making. A GIS based assistant information system for forest fire prevention direction was developed. The system makes use of spatial data and fire monitoring data from sensor nodes to provide important assistant information for forest fire prevention. It also provides a series of Web service APIs for forest fire prevention application development. Test demonstrated that the system is applicable and helpful to forest fire prevention.
