Introduction

The ambdes model has been developed as a pilot/prototype/test of creating a open-source DES model to support modelling demand etc.,

some context… The model of the ambulance system represents incidents across four response categories:

• C1 - life-threatening incidents
• C2 - emergency incidents
• C3 - urgent incidents
• C4 - less urgent incidents

The primary output is category 2 mean response time, and resource utilisation is a secondary output.
