This study optimizes aviation emergency material scheduling by integrating CRITIC and cloud models to prioritize urgent demands. Considering urgency reduces costs and disaster losses, improving aviation rescue efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Operations Research
- Disaster Management
- Aviation Logistics
Background:
- Emergency material scheduling and transportation are critical during major disasters.
- Aviation offers speed and terrain advantages but faces logistical challenges in disaster zones.
- Improving aviation rescue center efficiency is vital for effective disaster response.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an optimized mathematical model for aviation emergency material dispatch.
- To evaluate the impact of material demand urgency on scheduling decisions.
- To enhance the efficiency of aviation emergency rescue operations and urban risk management.
Main Methods:
- Integrated CRITIC and cloud model theory to assess demand urgency.
- Developed a mathematical model using an optimized ant colony algorithm for dispatch.
- Formulated a multi-objective scheduling model with a penalty function, solved by an improved genetic algorithm.
- Empirical case study of rainstorm-induced floods in Zhengzhou, China (2021).
Main Results:
- Aviation deliveries prioritized based on material demand urgency.
- Optimized scheduling completed all tasks within required timeframes using four routes.
- Considering urgency led to increased total time but significantly reduced economic costs and disaster losses.
Conclusions:
- Urgency-driven scheduling enhances aviation emergency rescue efficiency.
- The proposed model provides a valuable decision-making tool for disaster response.
- Findings contribute to improved urban risk management capabilities during critical emergencies.
