The governership of zmir has tasked you with the duty to determine ambulance stations for Bornova. Bornova is made up of 20 neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood and its population is given in Table 1. For ease of reference, instead of the names of the neighbourhoods, they are numbered from 1 to 20. You have to choose enough number of ambulance station locations among 10 possible locations. Lets number these possible locations j=1 to 10. Each neighbourhood must be assigned to exactly one active (chosen) ambulance station. The distances between these neighbourhoods and the possible locations are given in Table 2. Opening an ambulance station has a cost. If you build an ambulance station to possible location j, it will cost f(lj) =20,000+0.5x, where x is the total population of neighbourhoods served by this station. This means the cost of opening one ambulance station at any location, should you decide to do it, has 20,000 TL fixed cost and variable cost in proportion to the number of people that it will serve. The total budget allocated for all ambulance stations in Bornova is 300,000TL. There are 2 major hospitals in Bornova: Ege University School of Medicine Hospital and Trkan zilhan Trauma Hospital. There will definitely be one ambulance station at each of these hospitals. Both hospitals have 2 possible locations for an ambulance station within their walls. Lets call the possible locations at Ege University School of Medicine Hospital, locations 1 and 2; and the locations within Trkan zilhan Trauma Hospital, locations 3 and 4. Due to land survey/political reasons, either locations 5 and 6 or locations 9 and 10 must be selected as ambulance stations. You have to determine the best locations for ambulance stations and the assignment of neighbourhoods to stations. Your objective is to minimize the distance travelled to the neighbourhood farthest from its assigned ambulance station.
