| Abstract | This study proposes good ambulance deployments for Bangkok area by improving the expected response time and service levels of the ambulance services of the Medical Evacuation Center. The
Probabilistic Central Facility Location model by Aly and White which is the probabilistic aspect of p-median model is used. The solutions are solved by a heuristic algorithm by Shannon and Ignizio. The modification of the heuristic is done for solving the probabilistic covering model by Daskin, called Maximum Expected Covering Location Problem (MEXCLP), in order to examine the effect of increase of demands. Furthermore the extension of
the MEXCLP by removing the strong assumption that probability that an ambulance is busy is the same at all locations is also studied and solved by the modified heuristic algorithm. The
results of these models are compared. Moreover, the comparison between the results of the case that all the existing ambulance locations are fixed and the case that they can be relocated are proposed. These comparisons are based on service level indices obtained from a simulation model. |
