Abstract

In the event of a bio-hazard break out in a city, response agencies will open Temporary Emergency Units (TEUs) in every affected neighborhood to vaccinate the population. Through evolutionary algorithms, this research shows how response agencies can choose the best locations for setting up TEUs when a set of competing objectives are considered. Based on the proposed approach, response agencies can obtain trade-off solutions with respect to: a) setting up few TEUs, but with the drawback that processing the entire population might take a long time, or b) processing the entire population in time, by setting up a large number of facilities.
