3.4.2 Fire Warning

Dry season will create wild fires and result in devastating damage in some area. The path and expansion of the fire is difficult to predict due to topography and wind direction, which can make it difficult to set up appropriate road closures and detours. Figure 3.4.2 1 shows the closed road by wild fire. If it is possible to predict the likelihood of a fire and the path and expansion of the fire, it will be easier to ensure the safety of site workers and road users, to procure materials to minimize the impact on the road, and to implement temporary road closures. The such fire warning system is going to be developed.
