Abstract

West Africa is hit by the most unprecedented outbreak of Ebola virus and the medication that can resist the virus has been discovered. This paper establishes a mathematical model to discuss determination of the transportation organization scheme. In the model, we choose several major Ebola treatment centres as the locations of delivery and use the MTSP model to establish a reasonable transport organization plan. Then, we take Sierra Leone for example in our model, after determination of the locations, we transfer the MTSP to TSP by Gorenstein’s method. Next, we can get the result by using the traditional TSP method. In our result, the total distance is just almost 1448km if we use three planes in Sierra Leone.
