In this paper we address the problem of locating a mobile response unit when demand is distributed according to a random variable on a line. Properties are proven which reduce the problem to locating a non-mobile facility, transforming the original optimization problem into an one-dimensional convex program. In the special case of a discrete demand (a simple probability measure), an algorithm which runs in expected linear time is proposed. |
