Applying Dynamic Constraint Scheduling Technology to the Efficient Management of Emergency Responders

In this project, the intern research team is proposing to research and develop a Decision Support System (DSS) based on current research in constraint-based optimization, dynamic scheduling and probabilistic modelling. The Ottawa Paramedic Services (OPS) can use this system in their command and control centre to improve its operation and as a result improve the lives of the residents of Ottawa. The system is supposed to handle the burden of the combinatorial complexity while the human operator makes high level, strategic and tactical decisions. The basic underlying research problem is Dynamic Vehicle Routing Programming based on the probabilistic model of the problem.
