Simulation-based framework to compute population risk related to traffic accidents

Authors:   FJ Otamendi, D Garcia-Heredia

Abstract

A new family of indicators for the assessment of the risk of not being properly attended after a traffic accident has been defined. Its name is Dynamic Population Risk (DPR) and it is based on the dynamic behaviour of the traffic system (weather, congestions, population) and not just on the static location of the ambulances at the hub. Its development has been verified and validated using a simulation-based framework. Possible uses for policy development are mentioned.
