Abstract: Abstract For the location analysis of ambulance stations, we outline a static and a dynamic method using isochrones and discrete event simulation. Both techniques base on a realistic driving time estimation for ambulances on a detailed road network. We used these analyses for a real world study in Southwest Germany.
