Abstract
Like many operations research models, ambulance location models suffer from lack of practical implementation by those who could benefit from them. A major obstacle to adoption of such models is the emphasis their developers place on abstract mathematical principles, which overshadow the functional purpose of the models. This focus leads to impracticality in the presentation and usage of models, owing to such attributes as complex computer interfaces, cumbersome input and output procedures, and non‐intuitive presentation of results. Suggests a solution to these problems, in the form of a graphical interface system called ALIAS (Ambulance Location Identification and Analysis System).
