Air Ambulance Reassignment Problem

The objective of the Air Ambulance Reassignment Problem is to determine a minimum cost assignment of helicopters to sites to satisfy the projected demand for the next time period. This is implemented using GAMS/MIRO. Users can run the model on default data, view the results, then change data to generate a new scenario, comparing two saved scenarios in the comparison tool. In the helicopter relocation, the arcs and cells are clickable to show label and flow information.

News feed layout problems (1 and 2D versions)
