Approximating vehicle dispatch probabilities for emergency service systems with location-specific service times and multiple units per location
(Informs, 2009-02)
To calculate many of the important performance measures for an emergency response system, one requires knowledge of the probability that a particular server will respond to an incoming call at a particular location. ...
Optimal ambulance location with random delays and travel times
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2008-09)
We describe an ambulance location optimization model that minimizes the number of ambulances needed tonprovide a specified service level. The model measures service level as the fraction of calls reached within a given ...
Scheduling ambulance crews for maximum coverage
(Palgrave MacMillan, 2010-04)
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling ambulance crews in order to maximize the coverage throughout a planning horizon. The problem includes the subproblem of locating ambulances to maximize expected coverage with ...
Computational comparison of five maximal covering models for locating ambulances
(Wiley, 2009-01)
This article categorizes existing maximum coverage optimization models for locatingambulances based on whether the models incorporate uncertainty about (1) ambulanceavailability and (2) response times. Data from Edmonton, ...
Ambulance location for maximum survival
(Wiley, 2008-02)
This article proposes new location models for emergency medical service stations. The models are generated by incorporating a survival function into existing covering models. A survival function is a monotonically decreasing ...
