Abstract

Integration of Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies can extend the capability of fire management systems. These technologies are increasingly being used by modern urban fire emergency response systems. This paper describes a system framework based on GIS/RS/GPS technologies for urban fire response, which includes a real-time positioning system, a remote sensing image system and powerful functions for spatial display, operation and analysis. The framework from system components, architecture and functions of integrating GIS/RS/GPS in urban fire response is described. A prototype system built based on the framework has been developed and its spatial data organization, system functionalities and user interface are also be presented.
