Strategic ambulance location for heterogeneous regions

Ambulance Location for Maximum Survival

Ambulance location and relocation models

This article traces the evolution of ambulance location and relocation models proposed over the past 30 years. The models are classified in two main categories. Deterministic models are used at the planning stage and ignore stochastic considerations regarding the availability of ambulances. Probabilistic models reflect the fact that ambulances operate as servers in a queueing system and cannot ...

A Dynamic Ambulance Management Model for Rural Regions

Framework of TAZ_OPT Model for Ambulance Location and Allocation Problem

Our study is concerned with the development of an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ambulance location and allocation model called the Time-based Ambulance Zoning Optimization Model (TAZ_OPT). This paper presents the framework of the study. The model is formulated using the goal programming (GP), where the goals are to determine the satellite locations of ambulances and the number of ambulances ...

Location similarity of regions

This article gives a systematic investigation of location-based similarity between regular regions. Starting from reasonable conditions for such measures, it is shown that there is only a finite number of location properties to be compared. The complete set of combinations is presented, and their behaviour and interpretability are discussed. Similarity measures are needed for all kinds of match...
