Asphodèle : un logiciel “orienté-métier” pour la lutte contre les incendies de forêts

In this article we present the Asphodele software that is designed for management of material and human resources deployed to fight forest fires. This system has been developed in close collaboration with the fire brigade and therefore faithfully reflects their operating methods. It provides a digital battlefield called “tactical situation” to which is associated a synoptic table of the resources involved. It also allows for a 3-D Visualization of the operating zones. From a technical point of view, Asphodele is supported by a geographic information system that is capable of representing cartographic data and handles graphic elements specific to this application.
