| Abstract: | Timely emergency medical response in rural regions depends on efficient road-network connectivity between geographically dispersed habitations and health-care facilities. This research presents a graph-theoretic spatial optimization framework for multi-stop ambulance patrol routing in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. The proposed framework models healthcare facilities and habita-tion clusters as a weighted graph and formulates ambulance routing as a localized Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) integrated with Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) principles. The system incorporates Community Health Centres (CHCs), Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Sub-Centres, rural habitations, and road-network datasets within an interactive Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. Using shortest-path computation, closed-loop ambulance patrol circuit generation, and alternative route optimization, the framework supports efficient emergency healthcare accessibility across rural regions. A web-based implementation developed using React, Vite, Leaflet GIS, Node.js, and Prisma ORM enables real-time healthcare map visualization, PHC-wise route generation, and dynamic ambulance patrol monitoring. Experimental eval-uation conducted on graph sizes ranging from 100 to 300 nodes assessed execution latency, memory utilization, and routing efficiency. Results demonstrate that the proposed framework produces near-optimal ambu-lance patrol routes while maintaining scalable computational performance under increasing graph density. The integration of graph-theoretic optimization with interactive GIS visualization provides an efficient, scalable, and adaptive decision-support framework for rural emergency healthcare logistics, ambulance routing, and healthcare accessibility planning. |
