Abstract

The drug allocation model is set up to optimize the distribution of drugs after the outbreak. Considering that the severity of the epidemic areas are different and their economic level is low, we establish the network of service stations and the epidemic stricken areas. Then the dynamic drug distribution model is built, which consists of two stages. In the early stage, drug is shortage. For the effective control of the epidemic, minimizing daily new infections number as the goal, and distribute drugs according to the situation in the disaster areas. In the later stage, drug is enough, with the goal of minimum cost, employing the knowledge of graph theory, the distribution is given. Finally, we apply the model to a case, and the model’s rationality is verified by the results.
