ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: We propose two game theoretic models that are designed to advise SAR resource allocation. First, the interactions between a two-emergency event and a response agent in the district are modeled as a noncooperative game, after which the security risk value is derived for the district from the Nash equilibrium. Second, all values are utilized to compute each district’s Shapley value. Then an acceptable resource allocation of districts based on their expected marginal contribution is made. The experimental results show that our approach is feasible as a means to mobilize resources and to improve relief efforts against devastating tsunamis.
