A Multiagent System for Coordinating Ambulances for Emergency Medical Services

To coordinate ambulances for emergency medical services, a multiagent system uses an auction mechanism based on trust. Results of tests using real data show that this system can efficiently assign ambulances to patients, thereby reducing transportation time. Emergency transportation on specialized vehicles is needed when a person’s health is in risk of irreparable damage. A patient can’t benefit from sophisticated medical treatments and technologies if she or he isn’t placed in a proper healthcare center with the appropriate medical team. For example, strokes are neurological emergencies involving a limited amount of time in which treatment measures are effective

Abstract: To coordinate ambulances for emergency medical services, a multiagent system uses an auction mechanism based on trust.
