Abstract

Western China is a sparsely populated area with dispersed transportation infrastructure, making it challenging to meet people’s accessibility and mobility requirements. Rescue efficiency in sparse networks is severely hampered by the difficulty rescue teams have in getting to the scene of abrupt traffic accidents. This paper develops a layout optimization model for multiple rescue points to address this issue, suggests an improved particle swarm algorithm by including a variation that can reduce optimization time and avoid the disadvantage of precocity, and designs a MATLAB program using an adaptive variation algorithm. The proposed approach increases the effectiveness of rescue in a sparse network and optimizes the distribution of emergency resources.
