Theory and Methodology Location of hubs in a competitive environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We oer a formulation that locates hubs on a network in a competitive environment; that is, customer capture is sought, which happens whenever the location of a new hub results in a reduction of the current cost (time, distance) needed by the trac that goes from the speci®ed origin to the speci®ed destination. The formulation presented here reduces the number of variables and constraints as compared to existing covering models. This model is suited for both air passenger and cargo transportation. In this model, each origin±destination ̄ow can go through either one or two hubs, and each demand point can be assigned to more than a hub, depending on the dierent destinations of its trac. Links (``spokes'') have no capacity limit. Computational experience is provided. Ó 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Development of a Model for Locating Hubs in a Competitive Environment under Uncertainty: A Robust Optimization Approach
This article explores the development of previous models to determine hubs in a competitive environment. In this paper, by comparing parameters of the ticket price, travel time and the service quality of hub airports, airline hubs are divided into six categories. The degree of importance of travel time and travel cost are determined by a multivariate Lagrange interpolation method, which can pla...

متن کاملCuckoo Optimization Algorithm for a Reliable Location-Allocation of Hubs among the Clients
Hubs are critical elements of transportation networks. Location of hubs and allocation of demands to them are of high importance in the network design. The most important purpose of these models is to minimize the cost, but path reliability is also another important factor which can influence the location of hubs. In this paper, we propose a P-center hub location model with full interconnection...

Hub location problem is one of the new issues in location problems. This kind of location problem is widely used in many transportation and telecommunication networks. Hubs are facilities that serve as transshipment and switching point to consolidate flows at certain locations for transportation,airline and postal systems so they are vital elements of such these networks. The location and numb...
