Abstract

Many emergency situations involve injured people who need medical help and evacuation to a safe area. Usually there is not enough time to provide medical help to all the victims. So medical doctors have to make choices to help as much victims as possible, taking care of the distribution of victims in the crisis area and the priority of the victims related to the severity of the injuries. This paper describes an ant colony optimization algorithm to route medical doctors along the victims in a crisis area. We tested the algorithm in a simulated crisis environment. Two different routing strategies were implemented and compared with our algorithm.
