Optimal decision of a disaster relief network equilibrium model

Abstract

Frequent natural disasters challenge relief network efficiency. This paper introduces a stochastic relief network with limited path capacity, develops an equilibrium model based on cumulative prospect theory, and formulates it as a stochastic variational inequality problem to enhance emergency response and resource allocation efficiency. Using the NCP function, Lagrange function, and random variables, the model dynamically monitors disasters, enabling rational resource allocation for quick decision-making. Compared to traditional methods, our model significantly improves resource scheduling and reduces disaster response costs. Through a random network example, we validate the model's effectiveness in aiding intelligent decision-making for relief plans and resource allocation optimization.
