Hierarchical Planning for Resource Allocation in Emergency Response Systems & Designing Emergency Response Pipelines: Lessons and Challenges

Different approaches to solve a dynamic resource allocation problem under uncertainty. A completely centralized approach (leftmost) deals with a monolithic state representation. In a completely decentralized approach each agent simulates what other agents do and performs its own action estimation (rightmost). Our approach (middle) segments the original planning problem into multiple sub-problems to improve scalability without agents estimating other agents’ actions.
