A Decision Support System for Distribution Network Design for Disaster Response

چکیده
This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) for designing a distribution network for humanitarian relief in disasters. Based on our observations and discussions with experts in crisis management, we identify and model the decision-making steps for designing this type of network. We identify the objectives and constraints for each of these decision steps, and then we propose the mathematical formulations appropriate for each step and implement them in a DSS prototype embedded with a 3step algorithm. Finally, we report the results of many numerical experiments that illustrate how the prototype should be used by crisis managers. These results allow us to assess the prototype's relevance to decision support in disasters.

In this paper, a multi-perspective decision support system (MP-DSS) to design hierarchical public transportation network is developed. Since this problem depends on different perspectives, MP-DSS consists of two sub-systems with macro and micro sub-systems based on travel information, land use and expert knowledge. In the micro sub-system, two sub-modules are developed considering o...

The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...
