In this paper, we present the combined usage of two different simulation levels to evaluate the economic and quality-of-service impact of deploying a fleet of autonomous wheelchairs in a hospital. The first simulation level deals with the physical world and takes into account the characteristics of a real robot, such as dimensions, sensor configuration, and speed. We simulate different trajectories in order to obtain realistic transportation times that are subsequently used in the high-level simulation. This high-level simulation considers those hospital resources that are affected by the inclusion of automated wheelchairs, and computes the economic implications of partially or totally substituting the current fleet of manual wheelchairs. Our results show that switching to automated wheelchairs may be beneficial in terms not only of reduced waiting times for patients, but also of economic savings.

评价医院自主轮椅性能的两级仿真方法
在本文中,我们介绍了两种不同模拟级别的组合使用,以评估在医院部署自动轮椅车队对经济和服务质量的影响。第一个模拟级别处理物理世界并考虑真实机器人的特性,例如尺寸、传感器配置和速度。我们模拟不同的轨迹,以获得随后用于高级模拟的真实运输时间。这种高级模拟考虑了那些因纳入自动轮椅而受到影响的医院资源,并计算了部分或完全取代当前手动轮椅车队的经济影响。
