GIS-based allocation of emergency response units along a transportation route (original) (raw)

1995

Abstract

The ability to deploy emergency response vehicles in an effective and timely manner is one important measure of emergency preparedness. This paper presents an allocation of response vehicles along a transportation route utilizing travel time impedance. The allocation of the vehicles is GIS-based. The paper discusses a case study occurring in sClark County, Nevada, which illustrates potential routes for shipping hazardous materials. The software and hardware used to conduct the analyses were the Geographic Information System (GIS) ArcInfo software on a Sun MP/690. ArcInfo commands such as network analysis ALLOCATION, UNION, and BUFFER, were utilized extensively.
