Abstract

Abstract: The shortage of funding, the challenging assessment of aid needs, and the lack of transportation systems for the rescue and care of victims represent major constraints to disaster response operations. In order to improve logistical performance in these conditions, including remote and large areas, this paper proposes a formal mathematical model to assist air transport planning, using helicopters, for large-scale disasters, considering multiple deposit systems, multiples vehicles and multiple products, implemented in AIMMS to evaluate its performance. To achieve the objectives, a literature review is conducted to understand the ways in which helicopters are used in aid operations and to identify key steps in decision making and modeling processes. In the end, a hypothetical scenario is created with similar characteristics from the records of earthquake response operations that hit Haiti in 2010 for consolidation and validation of the procedure.

规划在灾难中最后一英里分配过程中使用直升机

摘要:资金短缺、援助需求评估困难以及缺乏救援和照顾受害者的运输系统是灾害应对行动的主要制约因素。为了提高这些条件下的物流性能，包括偏远地区和大面积地区，本文提出了一个形式化的数学模型，以协助航空运输规划，使用直升机，大规模灾害，考虑多存款系统，多车辆和多产品，在AIMMS中实施，以评估其性能。为了实现这些目标，我们进行了文献综述，以了解直升机在援助行动中的使用方式，并确定决策和建模过程中的关键步骤。最后，根据2010年海地地震响应行动的记录，创建了一个具有类似特征的假设情景，以巩固和验证该程序。

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.
