A Hypernetwork Based Model for Emergency Response System

Current emergency response systems are facing several challenges, including complex emergency network structure definition and inefficient emergency scheduling. For these problems, the paper analyzes the characteristics of emergency networks, and abstracts them into multiple interconnected, interdependent and interactive networks according to the characteristics of hierarchy, attribute and function, and then proposes a hypernetwork based model and its constraint conditions. Furthermore, the paper proposes an emergency scheduling method. This method fully considers the psychological factors of people and the rescue cost factors in disasters in order to balance the interests among different levels of network during rescue. The experiment results show that the model and the method proposed in this paper can not only better reveal the composition and structure of emergency response system, but also effectively balance the cost and the satisfaction in rescue.
