Semi-Markovian Planning to Coordinate Aerial and Maritime Medical Evacuation Platforms
M. Al-Husseini, K.H. Wray, and M.J. Kochenderfer37th Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence
Awarded the Deployed Application Award
Abstract:
The transfer of patients between two aircraft using an underway watercraft increases medical evacuation reach and flexibility in maritime environments. The selection of any one of multiple underway watercraft for patient exchange is complicated by participating aircraft utilization histories and participating watercraft positions and velocities...

Watercraft as Overwater Ambulance Exchange Points to Enhance Air Medical Evacuation
M. Al-Husseini, K.H. Wray, and M.J. KochenderferAir Medical Journal
Abstract:
Ambulance exchange points are preidentified sites where patients are transferred between evacuation platforms while en route to enhanced medical care. We propose a new capability for maritime medical evacuation, which involves co-opting underway watercraft as overwater ambulance exchange points to transfer patients between medical evacuation aircraft....
