Hydrologic Predictions Using Probabilistic Relational Models

Abstract

The US Army faces a significant burden in planning sustainment operations. Currently, logistics planners must manually evaluate potential emplacement sites to determine their terrain suitability. Sites subject to rainfall-runoff responses such as flooding are ill-suited for emplacements, but evaluating the likelihood of such responses requires significant time and expertise. To reduce the time and to ease the difficulty of logistics site selection we demonstrated a series of Terrain Impact Decision Extensions (TIDE) for use in logistics planning tools and processes. TIDE performs data-fusion over a variety of terrain and weather data sets using probabilistic relational models (PRMS), providing a high-performance alternative to physics-based hydrologic models. 1.
