MFDSSF: A Mobile Fuzzy Decision Support System for Firefighter Cooperation in Ad Hoc Networks

Firefighting is a dangerous profession, which often faces complicate, variable, and uncertain situation. Only depending on conventional tools, can't the firefighters cooperate work effectively. We present a mobile fuzzy decision support system for firefighter cooperation in ad hoc networks (MFDSSF) based on the decision support architecture proposed by William J. O'Brien. The decision support system, MFDSSF involves path navigation, danger reminder, rescue cooperation, and extinguishing cooperation. By this system, the firefighters can obtain complete situation information of the fire scene, achieve more effective cooperation, select optimum assistance alternative based on triangular fuzzy set, and increase their safety. For the realization of the decision support system, MFDSSF, the interfaces' patterns are discussed in the end.
