 An effective approach for aid planning on multi-type transportation networks after a disasterSaber Shiripour and Nezam Mahdavi-Amiri International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering, 2020, vol. 34, issue 3, 342-364 Abstract: We present a new approach for emergency response planning to the injured on a multi-type transportation network. We consider a three-type transportation network with separate connection links simultaneously: road, rail and air networks. In this study, a circle-based approach is presented where using concentric circles with various radiuses, different levels of the effect of a disaster are considered. After formulating the relations, we present an integer nonlinear programming model for the problem. The model is to determine the locations for establishment of temporary aid stations among the candidate locations, the type of aid stations, the percentage of the injured allocated to each station, the percentages of the injured allocated to different routes and the number of vehicles and the type of transportation network so that the total relief time is minimised. Finally, we test and analyse a numerical example of the earthquake problem in a typical transportation network in detail. Keywords: location-allocation-routing problem; multi-type transportation network; disaster response; mathematical programming model.
