A Two Stage Stochastic Optimization Model for Port Infrastructure Planning

A two-stage GIS-based optimization model for the dry port location problem: A case study of Iran

This article aims to investigate the location of dry ports by providing a two-stage GIS-optimization model. At the first stage, the appropriate points for establishing dry ports were identified using GIS and hierarchical analysis process; then, the suitable points were introduced as the potential points to the second stage model. At the second stage, by providing a multi-objective integer model...

Medium Term Hydroelectric Production Planning - A Multistage Stochastic Optimization Model

Multistage stochastic programming is a key technology for making decisions over time in an uncertain environment. One of the promising areas in which this technology is implementable, is medium term planning of electricity production and trading where decision makers are typically faced with uncertain parameters (such as future demands and market prices) that can be described by stochastic proc...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A two-stage mathematical model for evacuation planning and relief logistics in a response phase

Crises and natural disasters are always existed in human history, and continue to exist in the future; therefore, people are always affected by these natural disasters. Hence, evacuation planning after natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, fire, storms, warfare and nuclear explosions) is vital. Given that natural disasters cause irreparable financial loss and the loss of life ...
