摘要
This paper considers the redeployment problem for a fleet of ambulances. This problem is encountered in the real-time management of emergency medical services. A dynamic model is proposed and a dynamic ambulance management system is described. This system includes a parallel tabu search heuristic to precompute redeployment scenarios. Simulations based on real-data confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
