Evolving Robust Facility Placements
Will Thompson and Alex Friedrichsen, Alex Friedrichsen
Climate change is leading to an increase in natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes, which can damage critical infrastructure like hospitals and schools. To address this problem, we propose a project that uses evolutionary algorithms to design facility placements that are robust to disaster. By using evolutioanary algorthims as a metaheursitc solution to the p-median problem, we are show that our approach leads to facility layouts that are more robust to natural disasters.
