Simulation Model for Disasters and emergencies management for safety and security in industrial plants

The main goal of the work is to carry out research and developments activities to deal with the complexity resulting from emergency management in industrial plants and critical infrastructures. The project rises from a simultaneous consideration of the two aspects: efficient procedures are needed both on the emergency site and in hospitals; these procedures should be combined with a proper critical patients routing toward the most suitable First- Aid Facilities and with a reduction of human errors during the emergency management. In the process of evaluating emergency alternative problems, there usually exists incomplete and uncertain information, and the decision makers cannot easily express their judgments on the candiates with exact and crisp values. Many MCDM approaches have been proposed to help decision makers to solve problems in uncertain environment. In this paper, the AHP and simulation approach are incorporated to solve group multicriteria decision making problems with incomplete information. The proposed method involves four steps: (1) identify the focal elements of each decision maker according to the emergency scenario; (2) construct the decision model according AHP approach; (3) rank the emergency alternatives; (4) construct the simulation model.
