Abstract: |
A Parallel Master-Slave Genetic
Algorithm has been applied to evolve a two dimensional Cellular Automata
model for lava flow simulation. A new quantitative measure for the evaluation
of the simulations result with respect to the real event has been defined and
employed as fitness function. It compares both the areal extension and the
temporal duration of the simulated event with respect the real one. The 2001 Etnean Nicolosi (Italy) case
study has been considered for model calibration, while the validation has
been performed by considering further cases of study, which differ both in
duration and emission rate. Results have confirmed both the goodness of the
simulation model and of the calibration algorithm. Eventually a possible
application related to Civil Defence purposes is
briefly described and proposed as a future development. |
