Optimization-based Logistics Planning and Performance Measurement for Hospital Evacuation and Emergency Management
… the development of optimization models for hospital evacuation logistics, as well as the analyses of various resource management strategies in terms of the equity of evacuation plans generated. We first formulate the evacuation transportation problem of a hospital as an integer programming …

The Use of Probabilistic Risk Functions and Linear Penalty Functions for Hospital Evacuation Planning
… al. (2014), two approaches for the generation of hospital evacuation transportation plans were proposed: the minimization of the overall risk and the minimization of the evacuation duration. The resulting evacuation plans differ in terms of overall risk and duration, but also in the evacuation …
