A Dynamic Resource Allocation Approach for Concurrent Emergency Events in Metropolitan Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rescue operations for emergency events usually require multiple emergency departments to cooperate with each other to provide effective and efficient resource allocation plans within a short time limit and dynamically adjust the plans as necessary. In the paper, an agent-based resource allocation approach is proposed to automatically allocate rescue resources to concurrent emergency events by the consideration of dynamic changes in terms of event variation, task variation and resource execution variation.

Enable Efficient Resource Deployment in Multiple Concurrent Emergency Events Through a Decentralised MAS
In metropolitan regions, emergency events could happen concurrently at different places with different severities, types, deadlines and resource requirements. Due to the complexity, unpredictability, dynamic natures and potential resource contention problems among these events, traditional resource allocation approaches may have difficulties to efficiently and effectively deploy resources to th...
متن کاملA Decentralised Multi-Agent System for Emergency Resource Allocation in Metropolitan Regions: (Demonstration)
Nowadays, emergency departments in many countries still rely on human operators to allocate rescue resources to emergency events. However, with the fast growth of population in metropolitan regions, the frequency of occurrence of emergency events has risen significantly, which imposes tremendous pressure over emergency event operators. Agent and multi-agent systems (MASs) provide potential solu...

Emergency resource is important for people evacuation and property rescue when accident occurs. The relief efforts could be promoted by a reasonable emergency resource allocation schedule in advance. As the marine environment is complicated and changeful, the place, type, severity of maritime accident is uncertain and stochastic, bringing about dynamic demand of emergency resource. Considering ...
