The Australian wildfires in 2019–2020 have brought suffering to the Australian people. It is essential to use models to help the Victorian government monitor and predict the occurrence and development of fires to the greatest extent possible under the principles of safety and economy to facilitate rapid response. Through the idea of K -means algorithm and greedy algorithm, we, respectively, analyzed cities and rural areas at different altitudes and combined the altitude with the obtained clusters; the analysis from the established model shows that, for cities, cluster areas with smaller clusters with an altitude of less than 1600 meters and areas with smaller clusters with an altitude of greater than or equal to 1800 meters are covered by an EOC; for areas with larger clusters less than or equal to 600 meters above the sea level and areas with larger clusters greater than or equal to 1000 meters above the sea level, we use two EOCs for coverage; for rural areas, all areas with smaller clusters are covered by one EOC, while for areas with larger clusters where the altitude is less than or equal to 1000 meters and the altitude is greater than or equal to 1600 meters, we use two EOCs for coverage; also, obtained through greedy algorithm analysis, one EOC corresponds to 14 SSA UAVs and 8 repeater UAVs, and two EOCs correspond to 12 repeater UAVs and 26 SSA UAVs. We have a reason to believe that, through our mathematical model and the leaps in drone technology, it will have a long-term and profound impact on Australia’s wildfire control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
