Abstract

Optimizing emergency facilities location can respond to hazardous materials transportation accident rapidly, reduce accident loss and enhance the level of government's emergency management. The coverage radius of emergency facility often fluctuates. Aiming at the uncertainty of coverage radius, classic scenario method is firstly used and the formulation of a hierarchical objective α-robust arc-covering model is put forward. The first objective is to minimize the facilities to be established; the second objective is to maximize the expected weighted coverage rate, and the weighted coverage rate in any given scenario is equal to or greater than 100(1-α)% of the maximum coverage rate. Then greedy algorithm is applied to solve the model. Finally, it is shown that this model can provide an effective solution for emergency facilities location optimization.

Key words
