Let us assume a segment of the coast zonified as illustrated in Fig. 1, showing three accident
zones.
The scale of severity and the number of accidents of each type occurring in each zone
are shown in Table 1.
Table 2 shows the distances from the superaccidents of the zones to the ports as well as
the suitability factor assigned to each port evaluated. When the superaccident is outside
the radius of action of the resource, it is not taken into consideration.
We wish to verify which of the three ports located in this segment of the coast, according
to the procedures of the zonal model, is the most appropriate for locating the resource
of the rescue boats.
To do this, we calculate the coefficient for resource Rr in each of the three ports where it
might be placed. The resource has a radius of action which determines the zones accessible
from each possible placement
