Abstract: Summary This paper describes classical and advanced ambulance location models developed over the past 35 years. One of these models, called the Double Standard Model (DSM) maximizes double demand coverage with a fixed number of ambulances. A dynamic version of DSM was developed and tested on data from the Island of Montreal. The static version was successfully applied to data from Montreal, Austria and Wallonia.
