Abstract
Proper ambulance location is crucial in saving lives and reducing injury. To determine efficient and effective locations, it is necessary to evaluate both the spatial and temporal distributions of demand. Because of the complex nature of the ambulance response and transport activities, the problem is subdivided into a facility location problem and a vehicle allocation problem. A set covering model is modified to solve the location problem while a simulation is used to solve the allocation problem. Combining these two models provides a powerful methodology for systematically finding a satisfactory solution to the ambulance location problem.
