"Ambulance Pre-Assignment Problem: A Case Study of Jersey City, New Jersey"

Speakers: Dr. EunSu Lee and Natalia De La Fuente 

Pre-assignment is one of the typical operational strategies for an ambulance in service for quick response to a call. By doing so, the ambulance can be assigned in advance for a call to a predicted area in order to avoid traffic congestion depending on the frequency and type of calls. This study proposed a model minimizing total annual travel time from ambulance stations to incidents while considering historical call volume in the city of Jersey City. The study used a mixed integer liner programming model (MILP) minimizing total annual travel time from pre-assigned ambulance stations to incidents of 911 calls while considering historical call volume of 2019 in Jersey City, NJ.

This will be a virtual seminar via Zoom.
