Abstract: The research reported in this scientific paper focuses on practical usage of optimization methods aimed at improving the service accessibility for clients spread over the whole Slovak Republic. The results of previous research confirmed by a computer simulation indicated that the weighted p-median problem is a suitable way of optimization. Here, we pay attention to the inconvenience of current ambulance stations deployment, which consists in the fact that there are same locations with two or more stations equipped with an ambulance vehicle. On the other hand, the standard weighted p-median problem formulation allows locating at most one station to one place. Furthermore, when searching for a better service center locations, the capacity of a center should be taken into account at least partially. Otherwise, the station with a high number of assigned clients would not be able to satisfy all the demands. Such result may be considered inacceptable. We believe that mentioned disadvantage s could be overcome by fixing some stations, which will not be allowed to change their current location. The results of suggested optimization process are compared with the analysis of current ambulance stations deployment form more points of view. (More)
