Abstract
In one aspect, there is provided a method performed by one or more data processing apparatus for mitigating wildfire ignition, the method including: obtaining first data identifying utility lines in a geographical region, obtaining second data characterizing operational and environmental factors related to the utility lines in the geographical region, determining a probability score that characterizes the likelihood of wildfire ignition caused by the utility lines in the geographical region, generating, based on the probability score, a cost function associating a wildfire-based cost to the current carried by the utility lines, and generating, using the cost function and a mixed-integer program solver, an output for the utility lines in the geographical region, where the output specifies an adjusted value of the current carried by the utility lines.
