Abstract
Recently, at the scene of emergency medical transportation, the spread of aeromedical service by helicopter is progressing in Japan. In previous research, the rendezvous point placement planning for helicopters was discussed by the traditional voronoi division and road network voronoi division. The model used the acceptable population in each rendezvous point as the evaluation index. In this study, we proposed the method using a road network voronoi division including land use, and compared it with the previous method. In addition, our proposal model is applied to two regions for discussing the transfer possibility. It becomes clear that the acceptable population of a rendezvous point is different as the result of a three analysis method. Especially, the acceptable population in a suburban area is changed between the results using the road network voronoi division with the land use and without it. We pointed out that selection of the suitable method is important considering the necessary data and workability.
