Effective and Equitable Supply of Gasoline to Impacted Areas in
نویسندگان
چکیده
6 The focus of this research is on supplying gasoline after a natural disaster. There are two 7 aspects for this work: determination of which gas stations should be provided with generators 8 (among those that do not have electric power) and determination of a delivery scheme that 9 accounts for increased demand due to lack of public transportation and considerations such as 10 equity. We develop a mixed integer program for this situation. Two case studies based on 11 Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey are developed and solved in CPLEX. As expected, increasing 12 equity increases cost and also tends to place generators to stations with large initial inventories. 13 It is further observed that CPLEX can solve the largest instances of the problem for a 5 percent 14 tolerance gap, indicating that the model is efficient. 15
