Abstract

abstract: In disasters, when affected areas are remote or difficult to access, or when other ways of transport are not available, helicopters become the most appropriate vehicles to reach the victims, specialy in cases of floods, landslides and earthquakes. However, the planning of air transport operations in the context of a disaster response is of great complexity, so that operational research has significant application and potential contribution to the area. In this context, we propose a procedure that aims to optimize the use of helicopters in response operations to small and medium-scale disasters. The proposed procedure seeks to minimize the total time of operation and the mobilization of air resources during the last mile delivery in relief operations. The proposed procedure is applied on a post-disaster scenario, taking as basis the real characteristics of the response operation to the floods, occurred in 2011, in the mountain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This paper highlights a methodological protocol for review and stratification of the journals for study and a proposal of this work with viable processes to aid decision-making in the process of distribution of the humanitarian supply chain using helicopters.

在应对突发灾害的行动中，规划使用直升机进行补给分配

在灾害中，当受灾地区偏远或难以到达时，或者当其他交通方式不可用时，直升机成为到达受害者的最合适的交通工具，特别是在发生洪水、山体滑坡和地震的情况下。然而，灾害响应背景下的航空运输业务规划是非常复杂的，因此运筹学在该领域具有重要的应用和潜在的贡献。在这种情况下，我们提出了一个程序，旨在优化直升机在应对中小型灾害行动中的使用。拟议的程序力求在救济行动的最后一英里运送期间尽量减少总作业时间和调动空中资源。拟议的程序适用于灾后情景，以2011年巴西里约热内卢州山区发生的洪水响应行动的真实特征为基础。本文重点介绍了用于审查和分层研究期刊的方法协议，并提出了这项工作的可行流程，以帮助使用直升机分配人道主义供应链过程中的决策。

期刊介绍： Gestão & Produção is a journal published four times a year year (March, June, September and December) by the Departamento de Engenharia de Produção (DEP) of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). The first issue of Gestão & Produção was published in April, 1994. Actually, G&P was result of experience of professors of DEP/UFSCar in editing, in the beginning, "Cadernos DEP" in the 1980s, followed by "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção". The last three issues of "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção" were a test previous to the launch of Gestão & Produção because most of the journal characteristics were already established, like regularity.
