ambulance.Ambulance

class ambulance.Ambulance(env: Environment, base_location_ID: int, ENGINE_TYPE: str, ID: int, BATTERY_CAPACITY: float)

A class to represent an ambulance.

Variables:

• env (sp.core.Environment) – The SimPy environment.

• resource (sp.resources.resource.PreemptiveResource) – A preemptive resource used for events that occupy the ambulance.

• assigned_to_patient (bool) – Whether the ambulance is currently assigned to a patient or not.

• helps_patient (bool) – Whether the ambulance is currently helping a patient or not.

• drives_to_base (bool) – Whether the ambulance is currently driving to its base or not.

• charges (bool) – Whether the ambulance is currently charging or not.

• current_location_ID (int) – The current location ID of the ambulance.

• base_location_ID (int) – The base location ID of the ambulance.

• battery (float) – The current battery level of the ambulance (kWh).

• MAX_BATTERY_LEVEL (float) – The maximum battery level of the ambulance.

• ENGINE_TYPE (str) – The engine type of the ambulance. “diesel” or “electric”.

• ambulance_ID (int) – The ambulance ID.

• charging_since (float) – The start time of the current charging session. Equal to np.nan if the ambulance is not charging.

• speed_charger (float) – The speed of the charger of the current charging session. Equal to np.nan if the ambulance is not charging.

__init__(env: Environment, base_location_ID: int, ENGINE_TYPE: str, ID: int, BATTERY_CAPACITY: float) → None

Initializes an ambulance.

Parameters:

• env (sp.core.Environment) – The SimPy environment.

• base_location_ID (int) – The base location of the ambulance.

• ENGINE_TYPE (str) – The engine type of the ambulance. “diesel” or “electric”.

• ID (int) – The ambulance ID.

• BATTERY_CAPACITY (float) – The battery capacity of the ambulance.
