Comparison of Emergency Medical Services Delivery Performance using Maximal Covering Location and Gradual Cover Location Problems

Ambulance location is one of the critical factors that determine the efficiency of emergency medical services delivery. Maximal Covering Location Problem is one of the widely used ambulance location models. However, its coverage function is considered unrealistic because of its ability to abruptly c...
