| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research is to develop mathematical models for helicopter emergency medical service systems. Our models decide the optimal locations of helicopter stations and rendezvous points between ambulances and helicopters. Our models were applied to analyzing optimal their locations using the actual population and geographical data. We also developed an effective method to solve our model. We discussed requirements to implement our models on geographical information systems.
