Erkut, E., Ingolfsson, A., Sim, T., & Erdogan, G. (2009). Computational comparison of five maximal covering models for locating ambulances. Geographical Analysis 41(1) 43–65. doi: 10.1111/j.1538-4632.2009.00747.x

Erdogan, G., Erkut, E., Ingolfsson, A., & Laporte, G. (2010). Scheduling ambulance crews for maximum coverage. Journal of the Operational Research Society 61(4) 543–550. doi:10.1057/jors.2008.163

The data is contained in the following text files:

• Average busy time for ambulances (in seconds)

• For each demand node:

  • Demand: average number of calls

• For each station-demand node pair:

  • Average response times (seconds)

  • Standard deviation of response times (seconds)

  • Deterministic coverage for an 8-minute threshold (0 or 1)

  • Survival probability for deterministic response times

  • Expected coverage for probabilistic response times for an 8-minute threshold

  • Survival probability for probabilistic response times

• For each station:

  • Capacities (number of ambulances)
