A disaster evacuation network model for transporting multiple priority evacuees

摘要: There is an increasing number of natural disasters occurring worldwide, particularly in populated areas. These events affect a large people, causing injuries and fatalities. Providing rapid medical treatment utmost importance such circumstances. The problem transporting patients to facilities has been studied only small extent. One the challenges find strategy that can simultaneously maximize survivors minimize total evacuation cost under given set resource geographic constraints. We propose mathematical optimization model called Triage–Assignment–Transportation (TAT) decides on tactical routing assignment several classes vehicles between staging areas shelters nearby area. takes into account level injury evacuees, capacities vehicles, available resources at each shelter. TAT mixed-integer linear programming minimum-cost flow model. Comprehen...
