Multiple-area Post-disaster Resource Distribution Model Considering Perception Satisfaction
In large-scale emergencies, appropriate and efficient dispatch of limited resources is essential. Considering human's bounded rationality, the paper applies the value function in Prospect Theory to measure people's satisfaction perception with regard to emergency responsiveness. We present a multi-objective nonlinear integer model for planning of emergency resource allocation in the initial period of unconventional emergencies, which quantifies the satisfaction of timeliness and demand as its main objectives, and take into consideration the economic utility. A scatter search method is designed to solve the model with a numerical experiment performed to testify its validity.
