Modeling a simulated Forest to get Burning Times of Tree Species using a Digital Twin

Abstract

This paper states a digital model of a forest to analyze fire behavior using variables such as the rate of combustion and the time it takes for a species to be wholly burned. A simulation environment of a wooded area was designed that includes native species of a protected forest, where the height, diameter, and density are considered in each species to calculate the burning time. The results show combustion values approximate a natural environment, allowing a route to obtain real-time in a forest fire. The proposed model can be used to predict and prevent ignition points in forest fires.
