Agent-based simulation of emergency response to plan the allocation of resources for a hypothetical two-site major incident (2015)
Journal Article
Hawe, G., Coates, G., Wilson, D., & Crouch, R. (2015). Agent-based simulation of emergency response to plan the allocation of resources for a hypothetical two-site major incident. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 46(Part B), 336-345. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engappai.2015.06.023

During a major incident, the emergency services work together to ensure that those casualties who are critically injured are identified and transported to an appropriate hospital as fast as possible. If the incident is multi-site and resources are li... Read More about Agent-based simulation of emergency response to plan the allocation of resources for a hypothetical two-site major incident.

Interactive three-dimensional boundary element stress analysis of components in aircraft structures (2015)
Journal Article
Foster, T., Mohamed, M., Trevelyan, J., Coates, G., Spence, S., & Walker, S. (2015). Interactive three-dimensional boundary element stress analysis of components in aircraft structures. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 56, 190-200. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enganabound.2015.01.017

Computer aided design of mechanical components is an iterative process that often involves multiple stress analysis runs; this can be time consuming and expensive. Significant efficiency improvements can be made by increasing interactivity at the con...

A simulation model to enable the optimization of ambulance fleet allocation and base station location for increased patient survival (2015)
Journal Article
McCormack, R., & Coates, G. (2015). A simulation model to enable the optimization of ambulance fleet allocation and base station location for increased patient survival. European Journal of Operational Research, 247(1), 294-309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2015.05.040

An effective emergency medical service (EMS) is a critical part of any health care system. This paper presents the optimization of EMS vehicle fleet allocation and base station location through the use of a genetic algorithm (GA) with an integrated E...

Improving agent-based simulation of major incident response in the United Kingdom through conceptual and operational validation (2015)
Journal Article
Hawe, G., Coates, G., Wilson, D., & Crouch, R. (2015). Improving agent-based simulation of major incident response in the United Kingdom through conceptual and operational validation. International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management, 7(4), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.4018/ijiscram.2015100101

The aim of this paper is to report on how the credibility of an agent-based model (ABM) of the United Kingdom emergency services' response to major incidents has been improved through a process of conceptual validation, and how the ABM's software imp...

Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for three-dimensional medium-wave acoustic scattering problems (2015)
Journal Article
Peake, M., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2015). Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for three-dimensional medium-wave acoustic scattering problems. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 284, 762-780. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2014.10.039

A boundary element method (BEM), based on non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS), is used to find solutions to three-dimensional wave scattering problems governed by the Helmholtz equation. The method is extended in a partition-of-unity sense, multip... Read More about Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for three-dimensional medium-wave acoustic scattering problems.

Designing an agent-based model of SMEs to assess flood response strategies and resilience (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, C., Coates, G., McGuinness, M., & Johnson, N. (2015). Designing an agent-based model of SMEs to assess flood response strategies and resilience.

In the UK, flooding is responsible for significant losses to the economy due to the impact on businesses, the vast majority of which are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Businesses of this nature tend to lack formal plans to aid their response to... Read More about Designing an agent-based model of SMEs to assess flood response strategies and resilience.
