Path Planning for Suppressing Forest Fire using Genetic Algorithm
Abstract
Forest fire has to be extinguished as early as possible
because it not only destroys many resources available in the forest but
also affects the environmental and climatic conditions. In order to
extinguish fires two actions must be performed (1) an optimized path
that avoids collision with obstacles must be identified and (2) fire must
be extinguished by suitable means i.e. either using water or fire
extinguishing chemical agents. In this paper we have proposed a path
planning of a mobile actor to extinguish fires based on genetic
algorithm. The method is more powerful robust search technique
which gives optimal results when compared to the traditional or
conventional methods. A Genetic Algorithm Path Planner (GAPP)
based on fixed length chromosome and a generic fitness function
combining all the objectives of the problem is also proposed. The
proposed algorithm is suitable for static environment with static
obstacles.
