Fire stations resource management using simulation modelling

Abstract

Strategic planning is an important aspect of resourcing security services. The effectiveness of the fire service depends largely on the allocation of limited resources in fire services and the location of fire stations. This paper discusses the application of simulation modelling and AnyLogic software to investigate the functioning of a fire station. The model allows you to evaluate its effectiveness depending on the resource equipment, and evaluate the dynamics of changes in the readiness ratios of fire departments. The use of this model allows solving the problem of resource management and their optimisation.
