Multi-objective capacitated multiple allocation hub location problem (MOCMAHLP) is a variation of classic problem, which deals with network design, considering both the number and hubs connections between spokes, as well routing flow on network. In this study, we offer two meta-heuristic approaches based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) archived multi-objective simulated anneal...

The aim of this paper is to provide insights for better modeling hub location problems help create a road map future research. We first present taxonomy framework the broad array models, and then seek identify key gaps in literature that opportunities models. some new perspectives several areas, including historical evolution research, models economies scale, relevant characteristics different ...

parcel delivery is a complex logistic service, as it serves many small or medium-sized customers who may send or receive parcels. modeling such delivery system needs to integrate two different research areas of hub location and vehicle routing. as it totally depends on the network and the linkage of the nodes, in this paper, some door-to-door service providers are taken into account to provide ...

The hierarchical hub covering facility location problems are applied to distribution systems, transportation, waste disposal, treatment services, emergency services and remote communication. The problems attempt to determine the location of service providers' facilities at different levels and specify their linking directions in order to reduce costs and to establish an appropriate condition in...

This paper addresses the classical single and multiple allocation hub location problems with fully interconnected hubs, in which balanced round-trip flows on links are considered strategic decision making process. The use of is motivated by need to decrease empty-trip rate vehicles increase full-load vehicles. Mixed-integer programming models presented for versions problems. Numerical experimen...

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...
