Summary :

Effective emergency resource allocation is essential to guarantee a successful emergency disposal, and it has become a research focus in the area of emergency management. Emergency event logs are accumulated in modern emergency management systems and can be analyzed to support effective resource allocation. This paper proposes a novel approach for efficient emergency resource allocation by mining emergency event logs. More specifically, an emergency event log with various attributes, e.g., emergency task name, emergency resource type (reusable and consumable ones), required resource amount, and timestamps, is first formalized. Then, a novel algorithm is presented to discover emergency response process models, represented as an extension of Petri net with resource and time elements, from emergency event logs. Next, based on the discovered emergency response process models, the minimum resource requirements for both reusable and consumable resources are obtained, and two resource allocation strategies, i.e., the Shortest Execution Time (SET) strategy and the Least Resource Consumption (LRC) strategy, are proposed to support efficient emergency resource allocation decision-making. Finally, a chlorine tank explosion emergency case study is used to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed resource allocation approach.
