Capability Evaluation of Ground Support for Emergency Rescue Helicopters

Abstract

Under the background that the demand for air emergency rescue is increasingly urgent, the ground support for helicopters’ taking off and landing safely in disaster area is studied. By defining the connotation and identifying the influencing factors, the evaluation index system is established, including three level indicators. The weights of the indexes are determined by means of questionnaires. The evaluation model is established by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Finally, the feasibility of the evaluation model is verified taking a helicopter airport in China as an example. The verification results show that the model is beneficial for the government to fully understand the present situation of the ground support for emergency rescue helicopters, and also to provide direction for the related ground support organizations to improve their ground support capability.
