Abstract :
A new fire station location planning method based on travel time of fire vehicles is demonstrated. In contrast to traditional circle-drawing method, it is quite easy to operate and make better balance between fire protection response performance and construction cost. The application in a city at the central part of China is also demonstrated. It is shown a 140% increase on the fire protection response performance of the optimized layout than the existing layout.
