Efficient Decisions in Ambulance Systems Management

Radu BÎLBÎIE, Cătălin DIMON
Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient decision support system for an ambulance dispatching management system. The system is represented in the form of a causal graph, in which each arc represents a causal connection between the medical service providers (ambulances) and the medical service beneficiaries (patients). The generated solution is based on determining the optimal strategies by using specific game theory procedures. The determination of the intervention costs is based on the existing road infrastructure. The novelty of the proposed solution lies both in considering the road infrastructure as a time-varying system, with variable costs and road segments that may become inaccessible, as well as in the possibility of generating a solution based on the current positions of the medical service providers.
