Abstract

A critical issue on equitable relief scheduling has been receiving an increasing attention, but still relatively limited. This paper investigates relief reactive scheduling problem with survivors' perceived satisfaction (SPS) as a result of equity as well as intergovernmental relations amongst beneficiaries. Then, this problem is formulated as a bi-level mathematical model to minimize the total weighted response time and maximize the total SPS. The primal-dual optimality conditions are considered to design transformed strategies of the bi-level programming model. Finally, a case study on Wenchuan earthquake is presented to illustrate the proposed model and solution strategies. Computational results demonstrate their significant potential advantages in disaster relief operations. Furthermore, it indicates that incorporating equitable principle and intergovernmental relations into disaster relief activities is necessary and important.
