Continuous construction and rehabilitation in urban settings have unavoidable impacts on arrival times of first responders to emergency locations. Current research efforts on emergency response assessments focus on case studies, where specific periods (e.g., super storm Sandy) of emergency response times are analyzed. Simulation based studies that...

Context 1
... work information, especially work type and work subtype, is one of the main parameters describing the nature of construction projects that this study builds on. The full list of the work types and the work subtypes (if any) in the dataset is shown in Figure 1. From work types and work subtypes, we can categorize the construction activities based on the possible effect they have on the emergency response times (i.e., interior works have minimal influence on the emergency response times because they are self-contained). ...
Context 2
... construction signatures for the five clusters (i.e., the average percentages of the construction work types for each cluster) are also shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 shows the similarities and distinctions among clusters in terms of the distribution of the work types. First, the common theme throughout NYC, regardless of clusters, is the dominance of equipment work (see Figure 1 for details of what this type contains). On the other hand, the clusters do also differ in other types of the construction activities. ...
