Abstract:

In view of the abruptness of natural disasters and their secondary disasters, which make the information transmission at the disaster-affected points lag and fuzzy, resulting in the shortage of emergency supplies at the disaster-affected points, horizontal transportation had been introduced for coordinated scheduling of emergency materials between disaster sites in this paper. The WRSR comprehensive evaluation method was used to calculate the urgency of material as a basis for material scheduling orders in disaster-affected points that were insufficient. The random road traffic rate coefficient was introduced to address the impact of post-disaster road damage on scheduling time and cost. With the goal of minimizing time and cost, a quadratic scheduling model for emergency materials considering lateral transportation was constructed. The genetic algorithm was used to solve the model, and the results were compared with those of no horizontal transfer scheduling. The results show that the introduction of horizontal transfer between disaster-affected points effectively reduces the scheduling time and cost, shortens the "empty window period" of emergency materials at disaster-affected points, and improves the efficiency of emergency logistics and the resilience of the emergency materials distribution network.

Key words: natural disasters, horizontal transfer, emergency logistics, quadratic scheduling, weight rank-sum ratio(WRSR)
