چکیده

موضوع تخصیص و مکان­یابی ایستگاه­های امداد جاده­ای، به­دلیل داشتن تأثیرات زیادی که بر نحوة خدمت­دهی به مصدومین جاده­ای دارد، مورد توجه محققان زیادی قرار گرفته است. در این­گونه مسائل، هدف اصلی تحقیق، مکان­یابی بهینة ایستگاه­های امداد جاده­ای و تقسیم­بندی نواحی تحت خدمت، برای تخصیص مناسب آنها به خدمت دهنده­ها است. این مسائل از این­رو دارای اهمیت هستند که معیارهای عملکردی سیستم از جمله مدت زمان انتظار مشتری را بهبود داده و می‌توانند منجر به نجات جان یک مصدوم شوند. در این تحقیق تخصیص ایستگاه­های امداد جاده­ای بزرگراه تهران قم (محدودة تهران)، با استفاده از مدل صف هایپرکیوب که یکی از معروف­ترین مدل­های صف در زمینة مکان­یابی است، مورد بررسی و تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفته است. بدین منظور، پس­از تعیین تعداد حالات سیستم، معادلات تعادلی هر حالت سیستم با استفاده از نمودار آهنگ استخراج گردیده است. سپس با استفاده از احتمالات حدی بدست آمده معیار­های عملکردی سیستم، از جمله میزان بار کاری هر خدمت­دهنده، مدت زمان انتظار مشتری برای دریافت خدمت و ... محاسبه شده و با تغییر پیشنهادی قابل اجرا در عمل، در اندازة نواحی تخصیص داده شده به هر خدمت­دهنده، معیارهای عملکردی سیستم بهبود داده شده­اند.

چکیده [English]

Road relief stations Location and allocation problems are known to have a significant impact upon performance of road victims servicing. The main purpose of this kinds of problems, are road relief Stations locating and districting the areas to appropriate servers assignment. These problems are so important, because of improving the performance criteria, such as Customer waiting time that leads to increasing the probability of victim survival. In this research, road relief stations of Tehran-Qom highway are reallocated, using hypercube queening model (the most popular queening model for locating and allocating problems). For reaching this goal, the different state of the system and the equilibrium equations of each state were determined, using the rate diagrams. Then by using limit probabilities, the system performance criteria such as server’s workload and customer waiting time was calculated and by practical suggestions for resizing each server allocated areas, the performance of the system had improved.
