Summary
This paper focuses on a model for AED delivering drones. The goal of this model is to determine whether a drone network designed with the aid of a mathematical model combining both optimization and queuing can reduce the time to AED arrival. The aim of the drones is to arrive 1, 2 or 3 minutes in advance of 911 arrival, the model calculates how many drones and bases are necessary for multiple cities.
