ambulance_simulation.location_generator#

ambulance_simulation.location_generator(rng: numpy.random._generator.Generator | numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState, SIMULATION_PARAMETERS: dict[str, Any], SIMULATION_DATA: dict[str, Any]) → ndarray#

Generates the patient arrival locations.

The patient’s locations are generated according to the inhabitant’s proportion at each node.

Parameters:

  • rng (rnd._generator.Generator | rnd.mtrand.RandomState) – An initialized random number generator.

  • SIMULATION_PARAMETERS (dict[str, Any]) – The simulation parameters. The parameters NUM_CALLS and PRINT are at least necessary. See main.py for parameter explanations.

  • SIMULATION_DATA (dict[str, Any]) – The simulation data. NODES_REGION is at least necessary. It is based on NODES_FILE. See main.py and the input data section on the ELASPY website for explanations.

Returns:

location_IDs (np.ndarray) – Contains the initial location IDs of the patients.
