Title: "Fuzzy Approach in the Problem of Multi-Objective Emergency Service Location/Transportation for Disaster Region"
Abstract: Recent years have seen a significant growth in human life losses and material damages caused by anthropogenic and natural disasters such as earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis, terrorist attacks and others. In its December 2011 news release, the reinsurer Swiss Re reported that '2011 will be the year with the highest catastrophe-related economic losses in history, at USD 350 billion'. This has prompted researchers in different fields to intensively address the problems of emergency management. Emergency management is commonly divided into four main phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This work focuses on the logistics aspect of the response phase and more precisely on two important related problems: location and transportation. In the response phase the location problem aims at designing a network for distributing humanitarian aid (e.g., water, food, medical goods and survival equipment). It mainly consists in determining the number, the position and the mission of required humanitarian aid distribution centers (HADC) within the disaster region. The transportation problem deals with the distribution of humanitarian aid from HADCs to demand points. When both problems are solved simultaneously, we speak about a location-transportation problem. Our research deals with a Fuzzy Multi-objective Emergency Location-Transportation Problem (FMOELTP). We assume fuzziness in the model because the experts (emergency managers) knowledge and evaluations on the parameters of disaster response are the main and important data. In our model four objectives are considered. The first objective is to minimize an expectation of total transportation duration of needed products. The second objective is to maximize the total selection ranking index of candidate sites of HADCs. The third objective minimizes the number of agents needed to operate the opened HADCs. The fourth objective minimizes the non-covered demand for all demand points. We assume that requests for products are estimated by homeland security organizations, or their experts, based upon their experience and their evaluation of the disaster's seriousness. Estimated transportation times presented by emergency managers are considered to take into account routing access difficulty of the region and the infrastructures condition. We propose an exact epsilon-constraint method for the problem. it is proved that this approach generates the Pareto front of the multi-objective location-transportation problem addressed. For a large dimension of the FMOELTP the Estimation of Distribution Algorithm's (EDA) approach will be developed. Based on the optimal solution of the FMOELTP the Intelligent Support System for Emergency Location and Transportation Planning in Disaster Regions is developing now. Programming, testing and implementation will be made on the example of an experimental (simulation) disaster region (for some geographical zone of Georgia). This research is sponsored by the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation (Georgia), grant No. STCU-2016-04 and Science & Technology Center in Ukraine, Grant No. #6297.
