Résumé

Organizations of pre-hospital emergency medical services have as first mission to provide medical assistance to patients including transport to medical centers if necessary, and a second one that concerns the transfers of patients from one medical facility to another one. Most organizations in Canada and in North-America use two independent fleets to perform these missions. Although operating two separated fleets seems easier to do, it appears to be less efficient than an integrated fleet management approach able to deal with both types of demands. Taking this into consideration, this paper aims to design and evaluate the performance of three management approaches. This is a very challenging problem, since it involves solving simultaneously two difficult vehicle routing problems: an ambulance relocation problem and a dial a ride problem.
