in this study the location routing problem with fuzzy parameters is taken into account, this problem involves determining the location of the depots and routing of the vehicles in order to serve the customers. in this study a location routing problem with fuzzy travel times and due dates is considered and two objective models are proposed. the considered objectives are minimizing the total cost...

The hierarchical hub location problem is encountered three-level network that is applied in production-distribution system, education system, emergency medical services, telecommunication network, etc. This paper addresses the hierarchical hub covering problem with single assignment accounting for mandatory dispersion of central hubs restriction as a special case. This formulation with incorpor...

Using Greedy Clustering Method to Solve Capacitated Location-Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demands Abstract In this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (CLRP_FD) is considered. In CLRP_FD, facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP) are observed simultaneously. Indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

The hub location–allocation problem under uncertainty is a real-world task arising in the areas such as public and freight transportation and telecommunication systems. In many applications, the demand is considered as inexact because of the forecasting inaccuracies or human’s unpredictability. This study addresses the robust uncapacitated multiple allocation hub location problem with a set of ...

hub location problems are among the extensions ofclassical location problems that have numerous applications in designingtransportation, postal, and telecommunication networks. despite the evidentattention of researchers to these problems, there are few studies on designinghub networks under uncertainty and disruption. in this study, the capacitatedsingle allocation hub location problem under d...

The goals of hub location problems are finding the location of hub facilities and determining the allocation of non-hub nodes to these located hubs. In this work, we discuss the multi-modal single allocation capacitated p-hub covering problem over fully interconnected hub networks. Therefore, we provide a formulation to this end. The purpose of our model is to find the location of hubs and the ...

This paper deals with a hub location-routing problem (HLRP) which integrates the hub location problem (HLP) and the multi-hub vehicle routing problem (MH-VRP) in parcel delivery service. The HLRP is very difficult to be solved since it is composed of two NP-hard problems, the HLP and the MH-VRP. To solve these problems simultaneously we present a novel solution framework which divides the probl...
