Recent optimization models and trends in location, relocation, and dispatching of emergency medical vehicles

TL;DR: Modern modeling approaches to address problems related to ambulance fleet management, particularly those related to vehicle location and relocation, as well as dispatching decisions are discussed.

Distributionally robust optimization of an emergency medical service station location and sizing problem with joint chance constraints

TL;DR: A distributionally robust model for optimizing the location, number of ambulances and demand assignment in an EMS system by minimizing the expected total cost is proposed and guarantees that the probability of satisfying the maximum concurrent demand in the whole system is larger than a predetermined reliability level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Logistics for Emergency Medical Service systems

TL;DR: An overview of logistical problems arising for EMS providers is presented, demonstrating how some of these problems are related and intertwined.

Real-time ambulance redeployment approach to improve service coverage with fair and restricted workload for EMS providers

TL;DR: A real-time approach to maximize coverage with minimum possible total travel time, while restricting accumulated workload for EMS personnel as well as providing more evenly distributed workload between ambulances in a shift is developed.

Strategic ambulance location for heterogeneous regions

TL;DR: A new mixed integer model is presented for the location/allocation of ambulance stations and the allocation of ambulances to these stations especially suitable for regions with heterogeneous demand and multiple performance measures.

The maximal covering location problem

TL;DR: The use of a maximal service distance as a measure of the value of a given locational configuration has been discussed at length by Toregas and ReVelle 1 who show that it is an important surrogate measurement for the value.
