Lexicographic Goal Programming Model for Police Patrol Cars Deployment in Metropolitan Cities

摘要

In this paper, we propose an optimal deployment of police patrol cars for the department of traffic police. The lexicographic goal programming model was used to formulate the police patrol car deployment problem. In this study, different road segments and shifts were considered. To demonstrate the model, we have focused on the metropolitan city, Delhi (Central), as a case study. Sensitivity analysis on the budget and number of patrol cars has been performed to identify the best possible solution.
