Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, we introduce the transfer point location problem. Demand for emergency service is generated at a set of demand points who need the services of a central facility (such as a hospital). Patients are transferred to a helicopter pad (transfer point) at normal speed, and from there they are transferred to the facility at increased speed. The general model involves the location of p helicopter pads and one facility. In this paper, we solve the special case where the location of the facility is known and the best location of one transfer point that serves a set of demand points is sought. Both minisum and minimax versions of the models are investigated. In follow up papers we investigate the general model using the results obtained in this paper. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
