By incorporating advanced procedures for the semi-automatic digitization of the CH built environment as well as an advanced system that simulates the development of the complex phenomena of fire propagation and human crowd behaviour, the platform is an effective tool assisting competent authorities in assessing the fire-related risks and offering training to first responders and field officers. Additionally, the platform offers an effective fire incident management system that includes fire-detection capabilities and a specialised decision support system, enhancing authorities during the management of a developing fire incident. The validation of the ESTIA solution against the requirements of its distinct use cases was performed including the use of the platform as a simulation-based fire risk assessment tool. Subsequently, an exploratory risk assessment study was conducted aiming to establish and demonstrate a methodology for performing risk assessment studies using the provided technological solution. This paper presents (i) the use of the ESTIA platform as a tool for the conduction of simulation-based assessment of risk related to fire incidents within a CH environment, (ii) the methodology for the technological validation of the ESTIA platform as a simulation-based fire risk assessment tool and (iii) the methodology for the conduction of the exploratory risk assessment study in the historical center of Xanthi (Greece). |
