Emergency resource scheduling is at the heart of the response to an oil spill, as it lays the foundation for all other emergency operations. Extant studies address the dynamicity inherent to these operations primarily by modeling a dynamic network flow with static data, which is not applicable to continuously changing conditions resulting from oil film movement. In order to enhance the responsiveness and cost-efficiency of the response to oil spills, this paper takes a novel approach and formulates a multi-objective location-routing model for multi-resource collaborative scheduling, namely, harnessing time-varying parameters rather than static data to model real-time changes in the demand for emergency resources and the transportation network. Additionally, the model considers various operational factors, including the transportation of multiple resources in the order of operating procedures; the coordination of split delivery with the consumption of emergency resources; and the matching of multiple resources with suitable vehicles. To solve the proposed model, a hybrid heuristic algorithm of PSO-PGSA is developed, which utilizes particle swarm optimization (PSO) to search widely for non-dominated solutions. The algorithm then makes use of the plant growth simulation algorithm (PGSA) to find the more effective vehicle routes based on the obtained solutions. Finally, a numerical analysis is used to illustrate the practical capabilities of the developed model and solution strategies. Most significantly, our work not only to validated the methodology proposed here, but also underlines the importance of incorporating the features of an oil spill emergency response into emergency logistics in general.

“…These types of simplified evaluation methods have the advantages of simplicity, low cost, small demand for information and easier operation in practice. The Florida formula, which is proven to be a fast and low-cost method for oil spill ecological damage assessment (Faass et al, 2010), is adopted and modified in Equation ( 4) to evaluate the ecological environmental loss value.…”
