Application of openstreetmap data in ambulance location problem

Locating a group of ambulances to get optimum coverage can ensure the efficiency of emergency medical services (EMS) delivery. Maximal covering location problem (MCLP) is a static location model which has been proven as a cost-effective tool in the development of EMS system. Meanwhile, OpenStreetMap...
