Multi objectives Location Planning Model and Solution Algorithm for Disasters Rescue Site of Highway Network

Abstract:

The characteristics of highway emergency rescue site location planning were first analyzed from four aspects including the functional requirement, location impact factors, location elements (customers, facilities, space and measurement) and location objectives of emergency rescue site. Based on three objectives in rapid response, set covering and disaster loss minimum, a multi objectives decision model for location optimization was established. Then the algorithm and procedures of this model were discussed and the optimized objective was achieved through the Lingo programming. Finally, the method of rescue site planning was applied to the Tonglu highway network in Zhejiang Province.
