A new facility location model and a solution algorithm are proposed that feature (1) itinerary-
interception instead of flow-interception;(2) stochastic demand as dynamic service requests; …

This study provides a review of hypercube queuing models (HQMs) in emergency service
systems (ESSs). This survey presents a comprehensive review and taxonomy of models …

In this study, a police patrol discrete-event simulation model is implemented to evaluate the
patrol districting plans. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to study how simulation inputs affect …

The hypercube model is a useful descriptive tool to evaluate emergency services such as
firefighters, police, and emergency medical services where geographically distributed …

Police patrol district design presents a multi-objective optimization problem with two goals:
minimizing workload variation between patrol districts and minimizing the response time for …

Emergency service systems provide essential services to people in need. Most of them have
to operate under uncertainty and in complex environments. Their locations have to be …

Although they have different objectives, emergency response systems and on-demand
transportation systems are two similar systems in the sense that both deal with stochastic …

In this study, a simulated annealing approach is developed to find optimal police patrol
district design using a discrete-event simulation to evaluate the performances of districting …

The strategic planning of Emergency Medical Service systems is directly related to the
probability of surviving of the affected humans. Academic research has contributed to the …

Continuing population growth and increased urbanization within disasterprone areas have
led to greater numbers of mass casualties and economic losses caused by natural hazards …
