Comparison of Emergency Medical Services Delivery Performance using Maximal Covering Location and Gradual Cover Location Problems
Received Feb 14, 2017 Revised May 30, 2017 Accepted Aug 11, 2017 Ambulance location is one of the critical factors that determine the efficiency of emergency medical services delivery. Maximal Covering Location Problem is one of the widely used ambulance location models. However, its coverage function is considered unrealistic because of its ability to abruptly change from fully covered to unco...
متن کاملGeneral form of a cooperative gradual maximal covering location problem
Cooperative and gradual covering are two new methods for developing covering location models. In this paper, a cooperative maximal covering location–allocation model is developed (CMCLAP). In addition, both cooperative and gradual covering concepts are applied to the maximal covering location simultaneously (CGMCLP). Then, we develop an integrated form of a cooperative gradual maximal covering ...
متن کاملPERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF CBO AND ECBO FOR LOCATION FINDING PROBLEMS
The p-median problem is one of the discrete optimization problem in location theory which aims to satisfy total demand with minimum cost. A high-level algorithmic approach can be specialized to solve optimization problem. In recent years, meta-heuristic methods have been applied to support the solution of Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COP). Collision Bodies Optimization algorithm (CBO) a...
متن کاملPresenting a three-objective model in location-allocation problems using combinational interval full-ranking and maximal covering with backup model
Covering models have found many applications in a wide variety of real-world problems; nevertheless, some assumptions of covering models are not realistic enough. Accordingly, a general approach would not be able to answer the needs of encountering varied aspects of real-world considerations. Assumptions like the unavailability of servers, uncertainty, and evaluating more factors at the same ti...
متن کاملEfficient Solution Procedure to Develop Maximal Covering Location Problem Under Uncertainty (Using GA and Simulation)
In this paper, we present the stochastic version of Maximal Covering Location Problem which optimizes both location and allocation decisions, concurrently. It’s assumed that traveling time between customers and distribution centers (DCs) is uncertain and described by normal distribution function and if this time is less than coverage time, the customer can be allocated to DC. In classical mod...
