Simulation of a Coordinated Accident Rescue system

摘要

Project CARE-SOM (Coordinated Accident Rescue Endeavor-State of Mississippi) was a 15-month study of emergency medical evacuation systems for the National Highway Safety Bureau, U.S. Department of Transportation. The object of the project was to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate an integrated system for emergency medical evacuation. The system contained existing ground ambulance services, expanded communication abilities, and helicopter ambulance units. This paper describes a simulation of the experimental system used to evaluate rescue performances under various helicopter dispatching decision rules. The simulation language is GPSS/360.
