Behavior analysis of a bio-inspired model to care for casualties in a disaster

Abstract

This paper presents a thorough analysis of the behavior of a bio-inspired model to care for casualties in a disaster. The model was proposed by the authors in a previous paper and a simulation based on it was performed and evaluated. Here, we analyze the evolution of the system and the impact that various model parameters can have over it. Once the behavior is well understood, we can then focus our research on certain groups of parameter adjustments so that with a minimum implementation cost to achieve a maximum benefit in terms of saved lives.
