Because, it is indispensable for a victim who was seriously injured, must be conveyed more rapidly to an emergency hospital. Firstly, we analyze the service level of daily unit of emergency hospitals by Maximal Covering Location Problem. In the result, we make clear differences of their service levels, and some new fire stations are required to secure carrying time in the city. Secondly, we utilize GIS to grasp the spatial distribution of these accidental frequency, and analyze the emergency hospital location problem considering the probability of traffic accidents. Lastly, we refer to the relationship between the improvement of traveling performance of the ambulances on the current road network and the service level.
