Highway is the major artery and main component of China's transportation system and plays a vital role in national economic construction. After an accident on the highway, how to quickly reach the accident point through effective dispatching and implementing emergency rescue operations is extremely important. Further, when the transportation conditions (such as traffic status) varies on different road segments at different time intervals, it is a very challenging problem to distinguish between

And then, a genetic algorithm for solving the corresponding model is presented by adopting the random walk method. In our GA, a chromosome is represented by a transition matrix for defining the random walk, and specific crossover operation and mutation operation are given in details. The experiment on our GA is implemented by using GA-Toolbox of MATLAB, and the results manifest that our proposal is effective. Finally, the case of emergency rescue resource scheduling problem for the multiple accidents points is also discussed.
