Abstract

Fugitive interception is a challenging task, requiring the police control room to decide in a matter of minutes on the optimal positions of police units to intercept a fleeing suspect. Models can support the police by suggesting interception positions. This dissertation addresses four barriers to using models for decision support in fugitive interception: timely simulation-optimization, effective representation of the search space, simulation of fugitive behavior, and adaptation to information updates.
