Abstract
This study aims to propose a dynamic resources allocation for Emergency Medical Service System (EMSS) of New Taipei City. Response time is one of the important performance indicators in EMSS since rapid ambulance response provides patients better chances of recovering. Ambulances in New Taipei City used to park in separate fire stations and wait for the calls from emergency medical dispatchers. As an alternative, we propose a floating ambulance system which dispatches ambulance to patrol on the streets or stay at specific locations in the area with high emergency events demand. These areas are determined by statistical analysis of the historical emergency medical service data.
The main idea of the floating ambulance system is to provide higher possibilities that an ambulance will standby at the near area when emergency events occur. In addition, this system also aims to allocate EMS resource dynamically without increasing much resources.
The result of this study shows that floating ambulance system can improve the response time. Besides, those fire stations whom dispatch floating ambulances will not cause longer response time even the decrease of the available ambulances.
