Debris removal during disaster response phase : a case for Turkey
(Bilkent University, 2013)In this study, a methodology to provide emergency relief supplies to the disaster affected regions is developed. As a result of destructive effects of disasters, debris, which is the ruin and wreckage of the structures, ... -
Debris removal during disaster response: a case for Turkey
(Elsevier, 2016)Debris occurs from the ruin and wreckage of structures during a disaster. Proper removal of debris is of great importance because it blocks roads and prohibits emergency aid teams from accessing disaster-affected regions. ... -
Nonlinear mixed integer programming models and algorithms for fair and efficient large scale evacuation planning
(Bilkent University, 2015-07)Shelters are safe facilities that protect a population from possible damaging effects of a disaster. Traffic management during an evacuation and the decision of where to locate the shelters are of critical importance to ... -
Post-disaster assessment routing problem
(Elsevier, 2018)In this study, we propose a post-disaster assessment strategy as part of response operations in which effective and fast relief routing are of utmost importance. In particular, the road segments and the population points ... -
Risk based facility location by using fault tree analysis in disaster management
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)Determining the locations of facilities for prepositioning supplies to be used during a disaster is a strategic decision that directly affects the success of disaster response operations. Locating such facilities close to ... -
Shelter location and evacuation route assignment under uncertainty: a benders decomposition approach
(INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences, 2018)Shelters are safe facilities that protect a population from possible damaging effects of a disaster. For that reason, shelter location and traffic assignment decisions should be considered simultaneously for an efficient ... -
Solution methodologies for debris removal in disaster response
(Springer, 2016)During the disaster response phase of the emergency relief, the aim is to reduce loss of human life by reaching disaster affected areas with relief items as soon as possible. Debris caused by the disaster blocks the roads ... -
A stochastic programming approach for Shelter location and evacuation planning
(EDP Sciences, 2018)Shelter location and traffic allocation decisions are critical for an efficient evacuation plan. In this study, we propose a scenario-based two-stage stochastic evacuation planning model that optimally locates shelter sites ...
