| description | The service of present Search and Rescue (SAR) stations in the Aegean and the Western Mediterranean regions
of Turkey are not sufficient to meet the demands of the Turkish Air Force. This article gives an outline about the
study of seeking optimum locations of new SAR stations. The number of SAR stations required to cover all areas
of operation becomes a very decisive element in finding the optimal coverage of the operation area by these
stations. The problem of finding the optimum SAR locations can be modeled as a maximal covering location
problem (MCLP). Additional constraints are added to set standards on various issues in the regions. Main
emphasis is given to finding the minimum number of SAR locations that achieves maximum coverage in the
operation area. The model is coded and solved with an optimization software (LINGO 5). The solution shows the
location of SAR stations and the total coverage in the area based on the operational capacity of SAR units.
Several scenarios are examined and the results are then analyzed and presented. |
