Abstract
The determination of the number and location of ambulances in a densely populated area as Milan Province is a challenging task. Especially if the management wants to respect quality contracts with the population (time to patient less then x Minutes). GIS, Mathematical programming and Simulation models and techniques are included into the five steps,. Some results but not all are shown, the bid that will define contract with the crosses has yet to start.
