Abstract

First, we use the adjusted SEIR model as the infection model in the chosen area. We choose Sierra Leone, the country where Ebola is the most serious, as the study case to give detailed analysis. Next, we build a multi-step medicine shipping model. First we use the GRA (Grey Relationship Analysis) method to quantify the urgency of salvage of each area, combining the network analysis to determine the priority weight of each area. Then with these results we look into the transportation system of each area to establish the three-level delivery system.
