Abstract: This paper gives an overview of some key uncertain factors that affect fire engine routing, mainly including traffic congestion, the occurrence of natural disasters and human malicious actions. We propose to incorporate the effects of these uncertain factors in a unified modeling framework for the fire engine routing problem and an optimization model that include multiple objectives, such as travel distance, travel time and reliability of a path. Major issues related to these key uncertain factors that we need address in fire engine routing are discussed which prospects future research trends in this area. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
