Algorithm to Facility Location Problem on a Line

چکیده
We assume that m facility units (hospital, bank, post office, fire department, police station, bus station, etc.) are requested to be established for n cities which are on the same line. We have to choose m cities where the facility units will be established such that total distance from all cities to nearest facility units is minimum. Here, it is supposed that the person who is in the city which does not have a facility unit will prefer a city which is the nearest among all the other cities having a facility unit. In this problem, we assume that any two cities cannot have the same location. The only selection criterion is the distance between these locations. In this paper, a new mathematical model was proposed and based on this model, a new dynamic programming method was developed and its program was written in DELPHI. The program is available at http://sci.ege.edu.tr/~math/projects/flpsol/ .

A Facility Location Problem with Tchebychev Distance in the Presence of a Probabilistic Line Barrier
This paper considers the Tchebychev distance for a facility location problem with a probabilistic line barrier in the plane. In particular, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for this problem that minimizes the total Tchebychev distance between a new facility and the existing facilities. A numerical example is solved to show the validity of the developed model. Becau...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Algorithm to Optimize Stochastic-fuzzy Capacitated Multi-Facility Location-allocation Problem
Facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the Hurwicz criterion is proposed. Thi...
متن کاملSolving the competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of competitor with a hybrid algorithm including Tabu Search and exact method
In this paper, a leader–follower competitive facility location problem considering the reactions of the competitors is studied. A model for locating new facilities and determining levels of quality for the facilities of the leader firm is proposed. Moreover, changes in the location and quality of existing facilities in a competitive market where a competitor offers the same goods or services ar...
متن کاملA Simulated Annealing Algorithm within the Variable Neighbourhood Search Framework to Solve the Capacitated Facility Location-Allocation Problem
In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...

In this paper, instead of the classical approach to the multi-criteria location selection problem, a new approach was presented based on selecting a portfolio of locations. First, the indices affecting the selection of maintenance stations were collected. The K-means model was used for clustering the maintenance stations. The optimal number of clusters was calculated through the Silhou...
