EML BASED URBAN FIRE INCIDENT MODELING METHOD AND PROTOTYPE

Abstract. Urban fire disasters are one of the most frequent disasters that threaten public safety and social development in cities. Most urban fire disasters feature dynamics and processes. The locations, time, meteorological conditions and surroundings of each fire incidents are diverse, besides the traffic conditions around the fire place would be changing dynamically. At present, there is no unified modeling language to describe urban fire incidents, which makes it difficult to obtain experience from historical cases and hard to describe. This paper used the Event pattern Markup Language (EML) to model urban fire incidents from an observation perspective based on MetaObject Facility (MOF) framework, designed and implemented an urban fire incident modeling prototype. It can realize the information description of urban fire disasters, and provide descriptions of different observation missions during the process of the fire incidents. The detailed description of the process allows multiple observations based on the expression of EML to be performed, and offer evidence for emergency response phase and post-mortem archiving. The real data of the "12.1" major fire in Tianjin, China in 2017 was used as a use-case to show the modeling results of the entire fire incident in four phases – mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The results show that this modeling method proposed in this paper can represent the dynamic information of urban fire incidents and achieve the dynamic modeling of urban fire incidents.
