A study on location planning models for helicopter emergency medical service systems

本研究的目的是建立直升机紧急医疗服务系统的数学模型。我们的模型决定了直升机站点的最佳位置以及救护车和直升机之间的交汇点。我们的模型被应用于利用实际的人口和地理数据来分析他们的最优区位。我们还开发了一种有效的方法来求解我们的模型。我们讨论了在地理信息系统上实现我们的模型的要求。

The objective of this research is to develop mathematical models for helicopter emergency medical service systems. Our models decide the optimal locations of helicopter stations and rendezvous points between ambulances and helicopters. Our models were applied to analyzing optimal their locations using the actual population and geographical data. We also developed an effective method to solve our model. We discussed requirements to implement our models on geographical information systems.
