TEAM/FLEET MODELS FOR SIMULTANEOUS FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT SITING

A number of new location models which utilize the notion of coverage were developed, tested and utilized in a study of the Baltimore City Fire Protection System. These models extend the location decision to include not only specification of the sites of the basic facilities but also the distribution of specialized equipment and/or manpower among those sites. They are seen as more realistic representations of the location decisions which are required in public sector applications.
