Characterizing military medical evacuation dispatching and delivery policies via a self-exciting spatio-temporal Hawkes process model
研究医疗救治设施的能力与容量如何影响军事医疗后送系统性能，通过自激时空霍克斯过程模型评估八种后送调度策略，对军事医疗规划者有用。
The military medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) system is the primary method to evacuate time-sensitive combat casualties from the battlefield to appropriately staffed and equipped medical treatment facilities (MTFs). The intent of this paper is to analyze how MTF capability and capacity impact MEDEVAC system performance. We develop a self-exciting spatio-temporal Hawkes process model as well as a notional, synthetically generated MEDEVAC scenario of the post-Bosnian War to evaluate and compare eight distinct MEDEVAC dispatching and delivery policies within a high-intensity combat environment. The results garnered from this paper highlight the substantial impact MTFs have on MEDEVAC systems and should be considered in future research.
