This paper considers the discrete two-hub location problem. We need to choose two hubs from a set of nodes. The remaining nodes are to be connected to one of the two hubs which act as switching points for intemodal flows. A configuration which minimizes the total flow cost needs to be found. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial dme when the hub locations are fixed. Since there a...

Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...

Hub location problem (HLP) is one of the most important problems in the areas of logistics and telecommunication network design. In this paper we address the bi-objective non-strict single allocation hub location problem (BONSSAHLP). The non-strict property of this problem which allows establishment of direct links between pairs of non-hub nodes makes it somehow different from the conventional ...

This paper intends to take power system planning as the main module, while considering requirements and constraints of natural gas network transportation construction use energy hub model analyse transmission transformation relationship between different networks, realize system, network, transportation. Integrated for network. To verify effectiveness proposed PMIES method, an improved Garver t...

in this paper, we study the problem of integrated capacitated hub location problem and seat inventory control considering concept and techniques of revenue management. we consider an airline company maximizes its revenue by utilizing the best network topology and providing proper booking limits for all itineraries and fare classes. the transportation system arises in the form of a star/star net...
