We present a hybrid algorithm based on Genetic Algorithms and Discrete Event Simulation that computes the algorithmic-optimal location of emergency resources. Parameters for the algorithm were obtained from computed historical statistics of the Bogotá Emergency Medical Services. Considerations taken into account are: (1) no more than a single resource is sent to an incident, (2) resources are selected according to ...
