Optimization with fire spread simulation for forest management
Alvelos, Filipe Pereira e; Martins, Isabel; Marques, Susete; Dias, Mariana; Cunha, Eduardo; Neto, DavidWe propose a method for forest management in which wildfire is modeled explicitly through the integration of optimisation and simulation. Given a forest, the decision problem is to select a plan (i.e. a prescription and a periodicity for brush cleaning) for each of its stands. Each plan is associated with values for a set of criteria for each period of the temporal horizon. Considered criteria are net present v...
