Fuzzy logic in controlling the forest fire - level forecast warning signage

Abstract

Forest fires are always a problem around the world because of its great harm. Especially in Vietnam, the prevention and detection of forest fires are mainly based on the patrolling forest rangers; the warning board is not automatically controlled. In this article, we will present the design of an automatic controller, which was applied fuzzy logic to control the forest fire - level forecast warning signage. The controller relies on regional meteorological information to control the signage on the spot, and to directly inform the manager about the forest fire forecasting situation via text message. The experienced results of some forest protection units in Thai Nguyen prove that the application of fuzzy logic has met the requirements of the forest protection sector in improving the forest fire forecasting system.
