Abstract

As an important humanitarian relief material after disaster, blood has its distinguishing characteristics like perishability and time-sensitivity. During the post-disaster emergency blood collection, the location and allocation of mobile blood collecting facilities directly influence the timely supply of blood. This paper proposes a two-stage bi-objective mixed integer location-allocation model for mobile blood collecting facilities. An augmented 휀-constraint combined with Lagrangian relaxation method is applied. Finally numerical experiments based on blood collection process in Shanghai is provided.
