Study of Location and Layout for Emergency Resources Based on Weight of Risk

Location and configuration for emergency resources are key problems for emergency management systems. In this paper, risk weight of emergency demand point is proposed. The emergency demand point has bigger risk weight, which was covered with more emergency service points. Considering the reliability of the emergency system, the article proposed the fastest emergency rescue, maximizing meeting emergency needs, and minimizing the total cost as objective functions. Then, the author sets up a model of multi-objectives to locate emergency resources. In the end, the paper gives a numerical experiment to illuminate the efficiency of the model in this paper.
