- W2118712690 abstract "Queuing theory models are developed for computing the size of emergency ambulance fleet required to meet specified standards of service. As a function of the demand for ambulance service and the distribution of duration of service calls, tables are given for the number of ambulances required to respond immediately to 95 (or 99) percent of service requests. By analyzing a queuing system with unlimited server (ambulance) availability we provide approximate results to overcome the difficulties of computing steady-state results for a multi-server (ambulance) queuing system. Our results provide guidelines for determining the size of an ambulance fleet based at a single garage. We discuss the extension of our results to more complex situations. This paper provides a mathematical basis for a proper balance between the inordinate expense of a large fleet of ambulances and the possibly inadequate service provided by a small fleet. In the first section, we develop the required queuing theory techniques. These methods are then applied in the following section to the problem of determining optimal fleet size for a city whose ambulances are dispatched from a single base. In the final sections, the applicability of our results to other systems of ambulance operation is discussed." @default.
