Efficiency Evaluation of Road Relief Bases of Yazd province Red Crescent society in New Year plan

Today, due to the significant expansion of roads and increasing number of vehicles as a result an increase in road accidents, Relief road bases should continue their activities with better performance. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the performance of road relief bases. The relief road bases of Red Crescent society of Yazd province are evaluated with using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). So, performance of 13 bases of Yazd (permanent, temporary and mobile) was examined in Nowruz plan in 2011. Personnel and vehicle were considered as input and the number of outpatient clients and injuries in road accidents were seen as output. The performance of these bases was evaluated with use of input-base CCR model among different data envelopment analysis models regarding input and output parameters and use of DEASOLVER software. Only four relief road bases (three temporary ones and mobile bases) among 13 achieved high level of performance and two bases were also zero. Therefore, the results proposed in order to improve the efficiency of the bases.
