QUESTIONS OF THE RESEARCH OF THE WORK OF AIR AMBULANCE IN ST. PETERSBURG ON THE BASIS OF SIMULATION MODELING

The article is devoted to the research of the effectiveness of the functioning of helicopter pads of air ambulance based on the use of simulation modeling. Data on the functioning of helicopter pads near healthcare facilities in St. Petersburg are presented. As part of the work, an analysis of the existing airfield network was carried out, the workload was assessed and the technological processes of the work of air ambulance were analyzed. A simulation model of real flights was developed in order to obtain statistical data for subsequent decision-making on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the placement. The intensity analysis was carried out, based on which a short-term and long-term forecast of work was obtained, as well as a further plan for the development of air ambulance was proposed.
