Modeling of Emergency Supply Scheduling Problem Based on Reliability and Its Solution Algorithm under Variable Road Network after Sudden-Onset Disasters

الملخص EN

It is common that many roads in disaster areas are damaged and obstructed after sudden-onset disasters.

The phenomenon often comes with escalated traffic deterioration that raises the time and cost of emergency supply scheduling.

Fortunately, repairing road network will shorten the time of in-transit distribution.

In this paper, according to the characteristics of emergency supplies distribution, an emergency supply scheduling model based on multiple warehouses and stricken locations is constructed to deal with the failure of part of road networks in the early postdisaster phase.

The detailed process is as follows.

When part of the road networks fail, we firstly determine whether to repair the damaged road networks, and then a model of reliable emergency supply scheduling based on bi-level programming is proposed.

Subsequently, an improved artificial bee colony algorithm is presented to solve the problem mentioned above.

Finally, through a case study, the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model and algorithm are verified.
