Designing and evaluating a health care delivery system through the use of interactive computer graphics
The Location of Emergency Service Facilities
This paper views the location of emergency facilities as a set covering problem with equal costs in the objective. The sets are composed of the potential facility points within a specified time or distance of each demand point. One constraint is written for each demand point requiring “cover,” and linear programming is applied to solve the covering problem, a single-cut constraint being added as necessary to resolve fractional solutions.
Central Facilities Location
The problem of central facilities location consists of designating m of n communities (m < n) as centers in such a way that the average distance or time travelled per person is a minimum.The average distance (or time) is equal to the sum of the products of population and miles (or minutes) travelled divided by the sum of the populations.Define a; = the population of the ith community si = the miles (or minutes) which individuals from the ith comm…
