Scientific Organization of Blood Donation Camp Through Lexicographic Optimization and Taxicab Path Computation

Blood is the indispensable circulating fluid for sustaining human life. On demand supply of quality blood is a big challenge for every government in all developing countries. Specially, in festive seasons and winter, supplying quality blood on time is a big medical challenge. On the other hand, the consequences of mismanaged blood donation camp may lead to excess supply of human blood units. Also, in some cases, it is being noticed that human blood units are getting corrupted in transit from the blood donation camp to the blood bank. Hence, several units of human blood are getting spoiled over the time due to mismanagement and/or maintenance. In this research, we have applied a lexicographic optimization based model for finding best available blood bank from the point of blood donation camp. Alternative taxicab geometry based paths are used for finding best possible shortest path from the blood donation camp to the blood bank.
