Abstract

Emergency authorities are concerned with how to effectively deliver patients to different hospitals for treatment while not overwhelming any single hospital during emergencies. This study proposes an optimization model for the real-time dispatching and treating schedule to evaluate the seismic resilience of the interdependent transportation-healthcare system. The functionality of the road network, the service of hospitals, and emergency management are comprehensively considered in the model. A series of case studies were used to test the applicability of the method and quantify the resilience under three seismic intensities.
