The article titled “Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Analysis for Optimizing Ambulance Allocation in Emergency Services,” authored by Asst. Prof. Sajedeh NOROZPOUR from the Civil Engineering Department, has been published.
The study investigates the optimization of ambulance locations to improve overall system coverage in emergency services through mathematical modeling. Response time is analyzed by considering pre-travel delays and actual travel time, which are modeled using normal and exponential distributions. A differential equation approach is employed to examine the proportion of emergency calls reached within a given time threshold, and solutions are obtained using the finite difference method.
In addition, an iterative numerical technique is applied to maximize expected coverage by efficiently allocating ambulances across different districts. The results demonstrate notable trends in coverage performance depending on allocation strategies, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed model. The study provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating and improving emergency response systems, offering valuable insights for public health and safety.
Our department congratulates Asst. Prof. Sajedeh NOROZPOUR on this valuable academic work and wishes her continued success in her scientific endeavors.
