Programme Highlights
Over the past decade, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled new and smart techniques in building and construction. The applications of AI in fire detection, fire risk assessment and fire forecast are emerging. This talk will introduce a roadmap of using AI and IoT sensor networks in Firefighting and Fire Engineering Design. Guidelines for constructing a reliable fire database with both experimental and numerical data are defined, and the AI algorithms that enable the real-time identification and forecast of fire scenarios are reviewed. Three new concepts of applying AI in fire safety are proposed, (1) the AI-based fire engineering design to improve the performance-based design, (2) the building fire Digital Twin to monitor the fire risk and development in real-time, and (3) the Super Real-time Forecast (SuRF) of the fire evolution to support smart firefighting.
