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...

Reliable location routing problem considers a location problem and a vehicle routing problem in order to select the optimal location of facilities and at the same time the optimal routes for vehicles considering the unexpected failure for facilities in which, all facilities may fail with a probability. In this paper, a bi-objective mathematical model has been developed to minimize the total cos...

The hub location problem arises in a variety of domains such as transportation and telecommunication systems. In many real-world situations, hub facilities are subject to disruption. This paper deals with the multiple allocation hub location problem in the presence of facilities failure. To model the problem, a two-stage stochastic formulation is developed. In the proposed model, the number of ...

In this paper, we present an effective solution using the genetic algorithm for the uncapacitated single allocation hub location problem (USAHLP). This solution was published before, but today it still gives the really effective results, although there are many studies have been done after it. We also make an application using this method and present the performance results of this method.

This paper presents a dynamic (or multi-period) hub location problem. It proposes a branch-and-bound algorithm that uses a Lagrangean relaxation to obtain lower and upper bounds at the nodes of the tree. The Lagrangean function exploits the structure of the problem and can be decomposed into smaller subproblems which can be solved efficiently. In addition, some reduction procedures based on the...

In this paper, a hub covering location problem is considered. Hubs, which are the most congested part of a network, are modeled as M/M/C queuing system and located in placeswhere the entrance flows are more than a predetermined value.A fuzzy constraint is considered in order to limit the transportation time between all origin-destination pairs in the network.On modeling, a nonlinear mathematica...

The hub location problem appears in a variety of applications including airline systems, cargo delivery systems, and telecommunication network design. When we analyze an application separately, we observe that each area has its own characteristics. Hub location problems deal with finding the location of hub facilities and with the allocation of demand nodes to these located hub facilities. This...
