Hub facility location problem looks to find the most appropriate location for deploying such facilities. An important factor in such a problem is the pool of potential locations from which the optimal locations must be selected. The present research was performed to address two key objectives: identifying the factors contributing to the selection locations for hub establishment, and presenting ...

Abstract In this article, we present the process and results of using quantum computing (QC) to solve maximal covering location problem proposed by Church ReVelle. With contribution, seek lay foundations for other urban regional scientists begin consider technologies. We obtained promising results, but it is clear that there a need more capable devices with qubits less susceptibility electronic...

The Single Allocation Ordered Median Hub Location problem is a recent hub model introduced in [36] that provides a unifying analysis of a wide class of hub location models. In this paper, we deal with the capacitated version of this problem, presenting two formulations as well as some preprocessing phases for fixing variables. In addition, a strengthening of one of these formulations is also st...

The hub location problem with single assignment is the problem of locating hubs and assigning the terminal nodes to hubs in order to minimize the cost of hub installation and the cost of routing the traffic in the network. There may also be capacity restrictions on the amount of traffic that can transit by hubs. The aim of this paper is to investigate polyhedral properties of these problems and...

Hubs are special centers that used for switching, transferring and handling freight or passengers in transportation systems. The hub location problem deals with locating hub facilities and allocating demand nodes to hubs in order to route the traffic between origin–destination pairs. Aiming at minimizing the total costs, maximizing utilization of transporters, maximizing the service level, etc....
