Time allocation simulation model of clean and dirty pathways in hospital environment

Abstract

In usual modern hospital architectural design we try to separate the clean and dirty corridor that should facilitate traffic flow of clean and dirty items. However that is not the case in the hospitals with older architectural design, where clean and dirty pathways flow through a single corridor systems. The most common solution which enables separation of clean and dirty pathways in such systems is introduction of time allocation for dirty and clean items transportation. Currently such schedules are fixed and do not allow quick changes in case of specific events. We propose a solution to the problem using multi-agent based system able to quickly adapt the schedule of transports.
