This paper studies the ambulance deployment of the Tehran-Qom highway emergency medical service (EMS) system. The response time of EMS to an emergency call can have impact on the users in terms of the life and death, and this performance metric is evaluated using the proposed hypercube queuing model. The model is based on spatially distributed queuing theory and Markovian analysis approximations, and it is one of the most effective approaches for analyzing emergency response systems. In this research, performance measures of the EMS including workloads and mean response times are evaluated using the hypercube model. Modification to the existing …

This paper applies multiple Multi-Criteria Decision Management (MCDM) methods as a mechanism for identifying international markets for a producing nation’s food production. The specific application presented in this paper is for export markets of Iranian Pistachios; however, the model could be applicable across multiple food products and nations. Quantitative and qualitative criteria for market assessment were identified via a literature review. These include: 1) Regulation criterion, 2) Cultural criterion, 3) Transportation distance criterion, 4) Economy criterion, 5) Market potential criterion, 6) Politics criterion, 7) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). Shannon’s Entropy method was applied to weight criteria based upon the context-dependent …
