  bibo_abstract:
  - Modern communication technologies allow first responders to contact thousands
    of potential volunteers simultaneously for support during a crisis or disaster
    event. However, such volunteer efforts must be well coordinated and monitored,
    in order to offer an effective relief to the professionals. In this paper we extend
    earlier work on optimally assigning volunteers to selected landmark locations.
    In particular, we emphasize the aspect that obtaining good assignments requires
    not only advanced computational tools, but also a realistic measure of distance
    between volunteers and landmarks. Specifically, we propose the use of the Open
    Street Map (OSM) driving distance instead of he previously used flight distance.
    We find the OSM driving distance to be better aligned with the interests of volunteers
    and first responders. Furthermore, we show that relying on the flying distance
    leads to a substantial underestimation of the number of required volunteers, causing
    negative side effects in case of an actual crisis situation.@eng
