METHOD, DEVICE FOR DETERMINING NUMBER OF MOVING OBJECTS TO BE ARRANGED AND PROGRAMMING SYSTEM FOR THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To objectively determine the number of moving objects to be arranged at the destination of arrangement so as to minimize the time for visiting respective spots in an object area from the arrangement destination of moving object. SOLUTION: The object area is divided into plural small blocks by a data preparation part 100 for determination, and the point of centroid representative among the respective small blocks is calculated. Next, the shortest road distance between each centroid point and a fire station and the fire station closest to the respective centroid points are extracted, an arrangement estimate pattern estimating the arrangement of vehicles is lined up based on the number of vehicles enabled as mobile object machines, the shortest road distance to the estimated fire station from the centroid point in each pattern is divided with the number of vehicles estimated for that fire station by an arithmetic processing part 116, this operation is performed for all the centroid points, its total sum is calculated, further, the total sum is calculated concerning the respective estimated arrangement patterns, the estimated arrangement pattern to minimize the total sum is preserved and outputted in the manner of update and according to the preservation pattern to be outputted, the fire station to arrange vehicles and the number of vehicles to be arranged are determined.
