本文给出了一个城市中两个应急服务单元（如消防车或救护车）在城市的一个特定区域内合作响应报警或呼叫的模型。给定单元的家庭位置和警报率的空间分布，可以通过为每个单元定义响应区域来指定哪个单元应该响应每个警报。对警报的平均响应时间和每个单元的工作量被计算为分隔其响应区域的边界的函数。确定了使平均响应时间最小化的边界和使工作负载均衡的边界。有些边界可以被控制，因为另一个边界可以改善工作负载平衡和响应时间。找到了非支配边界集。
This paper gives a model in which two urban emergency service units such as fire engines or ambulances cooperate in responding to alarms or calls from the public in a specified region of a city. Given the home locations of the units and the spatial distribution of alarm rates, it is possible to specify which unit should respond to each alarm by defining a response area for each unit. The average response time to alarms and the workload of each unit are calculated as functions of the boundary that separates their response areas. The boundaries that minimize average response time and the ones that equalize workload are determined. Some boundaries can be dominated, in the sense that another boundary improves both workload balance and response time. The set of undominated boundaries is found.
