Multi-Criteria Evaluation in Support of Emergency Response Decision-Making
نویسنده
چکیده
Decision-making in emergency response situations can be supported by location-based information. However, current location-based services do not usually provide mechanisms to deal with conflicting information. To address this limitation, multi-criteria evaluation methods recently have been implemented in mobile geographic information systems. This paper describes an emergency response scenario that requires trade-offs between multiple decision criteria. The role of an emergency operations centre providing first responders with decision options is also discussed. An architecture and user interface for a mobile decision support system are then developed, in which multi-criteria decision strategies are implemented through the ordered weighted averaging method.
