New Paper in Operations Research, Data Analytics and Logistics 14 Mar 2025
In events of distress, an available naval rescue vessel from a home station with the lowest response time is dispatched. But how should rescue vessels be allocated to home stations when their operational availability changes over time due to low tides? In our paper "Rescue Vessel Allocation in Tidal Waters of the North and Baltic Sea" (by Tom Mucke, Alexander Renneke, Finn Seesemann, Felix Engelhardt) we build a mathematical model for this problem. We show that optimizing expected response times to distress calls is NP-hard. However, we provide an Integer Programming formulation and propose two methods of simplifying the model. We then compare the effectiveness of the models in a case study based on real-world data. Results show that the simplified models can be solved to de facto optimality, outperforming the results attained by the full model. The paper has been accepted for publication in Operations Research, Data Analytics and Logistics (formerly known as Operations Research for Health Care).
