碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程學系碩士在職專班 === 100 === The incident command system (ICS) and fire investigation system are the two main issues of modern fire investigation science. Every local fire bureau in Taiwan is trying to construct the standard operation procedure (SOP) for the two systems. As a result, this paper attempted to connect the systems with use of Building Information Model (BIM) technology by analyzing every procedure of the current operating mode, and by creating a new method to apply to the two different systems. In a fire scene, the fire commanding officers must acquire plenty of intelligence from ICS to establish the appropriate strategies, like “building data”, ”chemical material data”, etc. The process of inquiring must be efficiency and simple, to assist command officers in deploying all the firemen and fire engines precisely. Currently, the ICS in Taiwan is grouped by many independent subsystems, so we attempted to build a model which could connect all the intelligence to a centralized database of BIM. BIM can be thought as a database to contain documents, 3D images, and 2D drawings. The visualized database could rapidly provide the command offices with useful information. Furthermore, we also tried to apply BIM to fire scene reconstruction research for fire investigation. Nowadays, fire dynamics simulator (FDS) is widely utilized to reconstruct the fire scene by the most fire investigation units in the world. It simulates the fire scenario by using computation fluid dynamic (CFD) and could visualize the development of fire and smoke into continuous images. In the paper, we transformed the information acquired from the actual fire investigation report into the computerized model, and linked up the model with BIM to reconstruct the actual fire scene. The simulation may help fire investigation units reconstruct the scenario and verify the cause of fire.
