| Abstract | Computer Simulation is used to further analyze the possible ambulance deployment policies in Greater Bangkok identified by the maxi mum expected coverage model of Daskin. Performance measures such as response timer service time, round trip time, workload and coverage within maximum response time are presented to facilitate the choice of appropriate ambulance deployment policies. It is shown that 2 (6) additional ambulances in Bangkok can lead to a 30 ( 60 ) seconds reduction in response time and 2 (6 ) additional ambulances in Thonburi can lead to a 60 (90) seconds reduction in response time. It is also shown that doubled demand does not effect service level significantly because the demand rate is low. |
