Modeling Analysis and Improvement of 5G Ambulance-based Emergency Medical Service System

This paper introduces an analytical framework of modeling, analysis and improvement of the 5G ambulance-based Emergency Medical Service (EMS) system with queuing network model. The system performance indicators of ambulances and walk-in patients are evaluated and analyzed, especially the ambulance offload delay. Both the average ambulance offload delay in a single hospital and the average total ambulance offload delay in the whole system decrease monotonically with the 5G ambulance penetration rate, which refers to the percentage of ambulances equipped with 5G technology. The applicability of the model is demonstrated and the impact of the 5G ambulance penetration rate is verified through numerical experiments based on real data. This paper analyzes the impact of the 5G ambulance penetration rate on the Emergency Medical Service system, and provides a quantitative analysis method for hospital management and operation.
