用强化学习优化非洲偏远地区应急响应,实现公平高效调度。

OPTIC-ER: A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Real-Time Emergency Response and Equitable Resource Allocation in Underserved African Communities

  • 基于注意力机制的强化学习框架,动态决策救援资源分配。
  • 在500次未见事件中实现100%最优动作选择,表现极强泛化能力。
  • 适合低资源地区部署,可生成缺损地图与公平性监控看板。

非洲许多地区的公共服务因应急响应延迟和空间不公而受损,导致本可避免的苦难。本文提出OPTIC-ER,一种用于实时、自适应、公平应急响应的强化学习框架。该框架采用注意力引导的演员-评论家结构,以应对调度环境的复杂性。核心创新包括:上下文丰富的状态向量(编码动作次优性),以及精确奖励函数(惩罚效率低下)。训练基于尼日利亚河流州的真实数据,在高保真仿真中进行,借助预计算的出行时间图加速。系统基于TALS框架(轻量计算、可适应、低成本、可扩展)设计,适用于低资源场景。在500次未见事件的评估中,OPTIC-ER实现100.00%的最优动作选择率,验证其鲁棒性与泛化能力。除调度外,系统还能生成基础设施缺损地图与公平性监控仪表盘,支持主动治理与数据驱动发展。本研究为人工智能赋能公共事业提供可验证蓝图,展示上下文感知强化学习如何连接算法决策与真实人类影响。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Public service systems in many African regions suffer from delayed emergency response and spatial inequity, causing avoidable suffering. This paper introduces OPTIC-ER, a reinforcement learning (RL) framework for real-time, adaptive, and equitable emergency response. OPTIC-ER uses an attention-guided actor-critic architecture to manage the complexity of dispatch environments. Its key innovations are a Context-Rich State Vector, encoding action sub-optimality, and a Precision Reward Function, which penalizes inefficiency. Training occurs in a high-fidelity simulation using real data from Rivers State, Nigeria, accelerated by a precomputed Travel Time Atlas. The system is built on the TALS framework (Thin computing, Adaptability, Low-cost, Scalability) for deployment in low-resource settings. In evaluations on 500 unseen incidents, OPTIC-ER achieved a 100.00% optimal action selection rate, confirming its robustness and generalization. Beyond dispatch, the system generates Infrastructure Deficiency Maps and Equity Monitoring Dashboards to guide proactive governance and data-informed development. This work presents a validated blueprint for AI-augmented public services, showing how context-aware RL can bridge the gap between algorithmic decision-making and measurable human impact.
