Abstract:
Urban fire is one of the most ordinary
problems in all nations. Fire can cause serious
damages to people and properties. When the fire
event occurred, it is extremely important to reach
the fire vehicles to incident site as fast as
possible. To reach to the incident site in short
time and fast, we need to exactly identify the
incident location and need to determine the
suitable route. But there are some difficulties to
identify the incident location and to choose
optimal route. Because the road network
infrastructure of Myanmar is still weak in
structure. In some townships, there are narrowed
roads which could not clearly see from Google
Earth and not wide enough to enter the fire
vehicles and closed roads which are not passed
through the other streets. These roads can cause
problems for drivers and delays during the
emergency cases. Another difficulty is that
Google Map can’t give the user desired location
when we used the specific address. As mention in
above, some fire vehicles can't reach the incident
location in time. So, we develop GIS based optimal route finding system to support fire
emergency services. This system is intended to
identify the fire incident location in short time, to
find the nearest fire station and calculate the
optimal route to travel the incident site from fire
station by avoiding the closed and narrowed
roads. In this paper, the optimal route is
calculated by using Dijkstra’s Algorithm and we also considered the traffic condition in route
finding.
