Optimization on Emergency Materials Dispatching Considering the Characteristics of Integrated Emergency Response for Large Scale Marine Oil Spills
Many governments have been strengthening the construction of hardware facilities and equipment to prevent and control marine oil spills. However, in order to deal with large scale marine oil spills more efficiently, emergency materials dispatching algorithm still needs further optimization. The present study presents a methodology for emergency materials dispatching optimization based on four steps, combined with the construction of Chinese oil spill response capacity. First, the present emergency response procedure for large scale marine oil spills should be analyzed. Second, in accordance with different grade accidents, the demands of all kinds of emergency materials are replaced by an equivalent volume that can unify the units. Third, constraint conditions of the emergency materials dispatching optimization model should be presented, and the objective function of the model should be postulated with the purpose of minimizing the largest sailing time of all oil spill emergency disposal vessels, and the difference in sailing time among vessels that belong to the same emergency materials collection and distribution point. Finally, the present study applies a toolbox and optimization solver to optimize the emergency materials dispatching problem. A calculation example is presented, highlighting the sensibility of the results at different grades of oil spills. The present research would be helpful for emergency managers in tackling an efficient materials dispatching scheme, while considering the integrated emergency response procedure.

Emergency materials transportation model in disasters based on dynamic programming and ant colony optimization
Purpose While scheduling and transporting emergency materials in disasters, the emergency materials and delivery vehicles are arriving at the distributing center constantly. Meanwhile, the information of the disaster reported to the government is updating continuously. Therefore, this paper aims to propose an approach to help the government make a transportation plan of vehicles in response to the disasters addressing the problem of material demand and vehicle amount continual alteration. Design/methodology/approach After elaborating the features and process of the emergency materials transportation, this paper proposes an emergency materials scheduling model in the case of material demand and vehicle amount continual alteration. To solve this model, the paper provides the vehicle transportation route allocation algorithm based on dynamic programming and the disaster area supply sequence self learning algorithm based on ant colony optimization. Afterwards, the paper uses the model and the solution approach to computing the optimal transportation scheme of the food supply in Lushan earthquake in China. Findings The case study shows that the model and the solution approach proposed by this paper are valuable to make the emergency materials transportation scheme precise and efficient. The problem of material demand and vehicle amount changing continually during the process of the emergency materials transportation is solved promptly. Originality/value The model proposed by this paper improves the existing similar models in the following aspects: the model and the solution approach can not only solve the emergency materials transportation problem in the condition of varying demand and vehicle amount but also save much computing time; and the assumptions of this model are consistent with the actual situation of the emergency relief in disasters so that the model has a broad scope of application.

Information System of Emergency Materials Management Based on Active Blackboard Structure Design
The existing disaster emergency materials management systems are established based on the traditional design mode, the information processing capabilities are limited by the communication control volume of control system, and the asynchronous synchronous communication and time delay communication are seldom considered. The information sharing and resource integration capability among cities is low. The multi agent system has the good properties such as distribution, autonomy, coordination and robustness. These properties are taken into consideration in this paper, and the emergency material characteristics and management requirements are analyzed sufficiently. Combing with the distributed collaborative model of artificial intelligence, the agent communication model of blackboard structure is designed. An active blackboard design pattern is taken, and the emergency materials management information system is constructed. The system has good knowledge sharing and asynchronous/synchronous communication mechanism. Experiments show that the system can meet the requirements of emergency materials management effectively, and the operation efficiency is improved greatly, the system structure is easy to be implemented.

Dynamic Optimization Model and Algorithm Design for Emergency Materials Dispatch
Emergency materials dispatch (EMD) is a typical dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP) and it concentrates on process strategy solving, which is different from the traditional static vehicle routing problem. Based on the characteristics of emergency materials dispatch, DVRP changed the EMD into a series of static problems in time axis. A mathematical multiobjective model is established, and the corresponding improved ant colony optimization algorithm is designed to solve the problem. Finally, a numeric example is provided to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of this proposed model and algorithm.
