Abstract

Every year, millions of people are affected by natural disasters like flood and earthquake and unnatural (man-made) disasters like road accidents. In Iran, The rapid growth of motor vehicle ownership in recent years, along with the youngness of the population and the variety of the vehicles has led to an increase in the need for massive relief operations in man-made events. Therefore, the preparation for the quick reactions and doing operations of the emergency management including providing relief centers and creating relief chains to reduce its losses and transfer the victims from the crisis regions to the predefined relief centers seem necessary. On the other hand, in determine location of the relief centers, there are different stakeholders that have different viewpoints, capabilities, and needs. Road users and accident victims are one group of the stakeholders that minimizing the relief time with the maximum capacity of the relief center is from their needs. In this paper, it was attempted to model the problem of finding the relief hub locations with the priority of the road victims' requirements. In this model, time has been considered as fuzzy number and deterministic solving methods and Meta heuristic NSGAII algorithm have been used.
