This study aims to reduce delays caused by congestions in the transportation network and also that in hospitals. A patient transportation and assignment model is proposed considering routing of ambulances and operational conditions of hospitals for an efficient MCI response. The proposed model is composed of a Cell Transmission Model (CTM) and a nonlinear treatment impedance function. A Lagrangian heuristic is utilized to expedite model solution by decomposing the problem into two relatively tractable sub-problems: one linear and the other nonlinear. The linear sub-problem is solved by the simplex algorithm, and is related to ambulance routing, while the nonlinear sub-problem is solved by a gradient projection algorithm for the optimization of patients’ hospital assignment. A case study and several benchmark networks were tested, and the proposed methodology outperformed a typical Lagrangian Relaxation approach. This work has the potential to enable a more efficient patient assignment in MCIs. |
