A bio-inspired model to care for casualties in a disaster

Abstract

A bio-inspired model to care for casualties in a disaster is presented and a simulation based on this model is performed and evaluated. The model uses a queuing system inspired by the behavior of immune systems and an ACO-like heuristic for routing casualties across overloaded medical centers. The simulation results are promising. Our model can be modified to be used for the evacuation of population from an affected area in a disaster.
