| Summary: | Post-disaster search and rescue is an information-depending systematic process. Accurate information helps to provide decision support for SAR by optimizing SAR teams’ distribution. During the SAR process, information source is one of the main factors influence information accuracy. Among various sources, positioning device is one of the primary information sources. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether different sources lead to different information accuracy and whether the accuracy difference influences SAR efforts. A network model is presented to describe the distribution of SAR teams and a simple algorithm is developed to solve the model. Then a numerical example is performed to test the model and algorithm. |
