Abstract

This study proposes two approximation methods to define the coverage probability in ambulance location problems based on the model of cooperative covering proposed by Berman et al. (IEE Trans. 40, 232–245, 2010, [1]) as an extension to classical covering problems. A key ingredient of the model is the estimation of the coverage probability by multiple facilities. We introduce a simple parametric model for the travel time of ambulances and propose two methods to calculate the coverage probability approximately. We report and discuss two solutions obtained from computations using actual data.
