Multi-criteria model for monitoring of fire in the building for managing fire-rescue subdivisions

Abstract

Introduction. The article considers issues relating to improvement of activities as to extinguishing of major fires by manpower and resources of fire-rescue units for the account of additional information support of officials with the emergency system of control over results of objective remote monitoring of fire in the building. A complex of fire monitoring results is considered as a component of integrated informational space for the control of emergency services reacting at destructive events in social environment. Development of monitoring model . A class of hierarchical multi-criteria systems of fire monitoring has been considered. In such systems, a multi-criteria model for monitoring fire in the building is developed for formalized description of the process of collection of information on altering values of fire parameters. The model represents a complex of analytical solutions of a system of differential equations which describe alteration of monitoring parameters during fire development. The model is implemented as software with which help evaluation of alteration of fire monitoring parameters is performed and their exponential temporal relationship is detected. Implementation of results . In order to account monitoring results, in decision-making models methods of monitoring parameter normalization are suggested. For various monitoring parameters in terms of structure and dynamics a multiplicative model of a complex monitoring index is developed. The developed model is adapted to be introduced into systems of decision-making support in terms of set-theoretic analysis of variants for controlling fire-rescue units when extinguishing fires. Conclusions. Results of set-theoretic analysis of variants for controlling, allowed on a qualitative level to account relative importance of monitoring indices over resulting function of decision making. The following is suggested: trends for further development of methodological component of monitoring of fire in buildings aimed at increase of obj ectivity of the managerial decisions being made as well as for decrease of impact of human factors upon the process of control of fire-rescue subdivisions when extinguishing fires in buildings.
