Abstract
IB-BAM methodology includes three major steps: In step-1, the model ranks and assigns a weight to each incident type according to its severity, using Analytical Hierarchy Process technique. In step-2, considering historical incident data, a Zonal Distribution Model generates aggregated weighted demand locations. In step-3, a multi-objective mixed integer program determines locations and responsibility zones of search and rescue boats. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model with respect to the Aegean Sea responsibility area of the Turkish Coast Guard boats. The results show that IB-BAM implementation led to a more effective utilization of boats considering the three objectives of the model.
