Rapid Vehicle Scheduling for Emergency Personnel Evacuation in Disaster Rescue

Abstract

T Vehicle scheduling for personnel evacuation plays a significant role in disaster rescue. However, current vehicle scheduling methods do not meet the needs of emergency response in disaster rescue. This paper proposes a rapid vehicle scheduling method to evacuate the crowd and reduce losses in an emergent situation. We construct a specific model for vehicle scheduling problem in disaster rescue firstly, and then put forward a heuristic algorithm to solve this problem. An empirical example is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. Scheduling and evacuation data are computed in real-time and considerations about dangerous zones of different dangerous levels are also included in this method. The characteristics of the method make it more suitable in actual emergency rescue.

“…Liu et al investigated the dispatch of emergency ships aiming for the shortest emergency time 2 , while Zhou studied the selection of rescue ships based on a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation 3 . Li et al developed the emergency rescue personnel dispatch model based on the rescue personnel's competence and rescue time satisfaction 4 , and Huang discussed the golden rescue time at sea 5 . Nevertheless, most studies only consider a single type of rescue equipment, such as ships, while only a few research involve the comprehensive application of rescue equipment.…”
