Abstract
Ambulance is one of the emergency medical services (EMS) components. Quick ambulance response time for any emergencies is crucial in providing quality live-saving rescues. Strategic location and allocation of the ambulances is able to reduce the response time. This paper presents the Time-based Ambulance Zoning Optimization (TAZ_OPT) model, which determines the satellite locations of ambulances and the number of ambulances to be allocated at these stations. TAZ_OPT is a goal programming (GP) model. The model aims at maximizing the accessibility and the availability of ambulances.
