Localización de una nueva estación de bomberos mediante un indicador de atención de accidentes en el sector de san miguel y el uso de optimización matemática

Nowadays, deciding where to place different public service entities, as in the case of Firefighter Stations, has become more difficult because of the inefficiency of the existing methods: the location of the oldest Firefighter Stations has not been adapted to the current urban expansion and the most recent ones have only considered the influence of the frequency of the accidents. In that way, the objective of this article will be to explain and propose a methodology based on an Indicator of Accident Respond according to a restricted area and to the existing Firefighter Stations (further on, INDICADOR), the one that will allow to establish and evaluate potential terrains for the location of the new Firefighter Station. It is also important to notice that, in this particular case, the execution of the method will be limited to one sector of the district of San Miguel in Lima-Peru; however, it adapts to any sector to analyze. For the execution of this methodology, E.W. Dijkstra's Algorithm, commonly known as The Shortest Route Algorithm, is going to be used in order to define the INDICADOR of each potential terrain which, finally, will determine the location for new Firefighter Station. In the same way, for this article were used programming and analysis software such as MatLab and Visual Studio Code.
