A disaster emergency consists of many unfavorable factors, such as different disaster areas, the limited capacity of the rescue centers, and complex rescue conditions. After taking into account the resources of the rescue centers, the ability of resc...
In this paper, we introduce an agent rescue scheduling approach grounded in proximal policy optimization, coupled with a singularity-free predefined-time control strategy. The primary objective of this methodology is to bolster the efficiency and pre...
Background: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) plays a fundamental role in providing good quality healthcare services to citizens, as they are the first responders in distressing situations. Few studies have used available EMS data to investigate EMS c...
Under the impact of global climate change and human activities, the occurrence of compound disasters such as cascading landslides and flash floods caused by heavy rainfall is increasing. In response to these compound disaster events, it is important...
Coastal countries began to develop green energy, and offshore wind power equipment in coastal areas was gradually built. Since coastal wind power generation often requires carrying out maintenance between wind turbines with the assistance of service...
The purpose of the study was to present the characteristics of Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) interventions concerning newborns in Poland. The study involved a retrospective analysis of missions by Pol...
Research on helicopter dispatching has received considerable attention, particularly in relation to post-disaster rescue operations. The survival chances of individuals trapped in emergency situations decrease as time passes, making timely helicopter...
The continued growth of the global cruise market has posed a major challenge to maritime search and rescue, as available rescue resources are limited compared to the scale of passenger ship disasters. To bridge the gap between the number of passenger...
Intelligent ship navigation scheduling and planning is of great significance for ensuring the safety of maritime production and life and promoting the development of the marine economy. In this paper, an intelligent ship scheduling and path planning...
To solve the location-routing problem of maritime emergency materials distribution (MEMD-LRP) of multi-agent joint decision, a bi-level programming model of MEMD-LRP is constructed. The model is established on the premise of considering the rescue ti...
Reasonable and efficient scheduling of rescuers plays a crucial role in earthquake emergency relief, which can effectively reduce disaster losses and promote social stability and sustainable development. Due to the suddenness of disasters, the urgenc...
The uncertainty of post-earthquake disaster situations can affect the efficiency of rescue site selection, material, and personnel dispatching, as well as the sustainability of related resources. It is crucial for decision-makers to make decisions to...
Scheduling decisions for concurrent emergency response (CER) across multiple disaster sites presents numerous difficulties. The main challenge is to minimize human casualties while taking into account the rationality of resource allocation across dif...
Natural disasters and catastrophes not only cost the loss of human lives, but adversely affect the progress toward sustainable development of the country. As soon as disaster strikes, the first and foremost challenge for the concerned authorities is...
This editorial discusses recent progress in data-driven intelligent modeling and optimization algorithms for industrial processes. With the advent of Industry 4.0, the amalgamation of sophisticated data analytics, machine learning, and artificial int...
In recent years, major natural disasters and public safety accidents have frequently occurred worldwide. In order to deal with various disasters and accidents using rapidly deployable, reliable, efficient, and stable emergency communication networks,...
Background: Rescue service interventions for patients with behavioral disorders are quite common. The aim of this study is to analyze interventions of Polish State Fire Service units in incidents involving health threats to victims with behavioral di...
During natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, or landslides, the timely passage of special vehicles (primarily oversized vehicles) is crucial for successful emergency rescue operations. Efficient route planning algorithms capable of handling l...
Background and objectives: The goal of this work was to assess the interventions for cardiovascular causes (ICD-10: I) and analyze the time between the request for intervention and the arrival of the Medical Emergency Team realized by the Voivodeship...
In order to achieve rapid and fair distribution of emergency supplies after a large-scale sudden disaster, this paper constructs a comprehensive time perception satisfaction function and a comprehensive material loss pain function to portray the perc...
Drones have evolved significantly in recent years, acquiring greater autonomy and carrier capacity. Therefore, drones can play a substantial role in civil medicine, especially in emergency situations or for the detection and monitoring of disease spr...
Multitask emergency logistics planning is a complex optimization problem in practice. When a disaster occurs, relief materials or rescue teams should be dispatched to destinations as soon as possible. In a nutshell, the problem can be described as an...
Emergency medical services (EMS) provide crucial emergency assistance and ambulatory services. One key measurement of EMS’s quality of service is their ambulances’ response time (ART), which generally refers to the period between EMS notification and...
Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G are enabling intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). ITSs promise to improve road safety in smart cities. Therefore, ITSs are gaining earnest devotion in the industry as well as in academics. Due to the rapid increa...
In recent years, epidemic disasters broke through frequently around the world, posing a huge threat to economic and social development, as well as human health. A fair and accurate distribution of emergency supplies during an epidemic is vital for im...
Emergency events pose critical challenges to national and social stability, requiring efficient and timely responses to mitigate their impact. In the initial stages of an emergency, decision-makers face the dual challenge of minimizing transportation...
