This comprehensive work explores the research performed inoptimization of the collection bin and in recycle bin location-allocation issues in solidwaste management. Although the collection phase of solid waste management accountsfor a significant proportion of the municipal budget, it has attracted only limitedattention of the researchers. Optimization of the collection bin and recycle bin loca...

In this study, we aimed to assess the solution quality for location-allocation problems from facilities generated by the software TransCAD®, a Geographic Information System for Transportation (GIS-T). Such facilities were obtained after using two routines together: Facility Location and Transportation Problem, when compared with optimal solutions from exact mathematical models, based on Mixed I...

Three types of fuzzy random programming for capacitated location-allocation problem with fuzzy random demands are proposed according to different criteria, including the expected value model, chanceconstrained programming and dependent-chance programming. Finally, integrating the network simplex algorithm, fuzzy random simulation and genetic algorithm, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is produced...

Sectorization is concerned with dividing a large territory into smaller areas, also known as sectors. This process usually simplifies complex problem, leading to easier solution approaches solving the resulting subproblems. Sectors are built several criteria in mind, such equilibrium, compactness, contiguity, and desirability, which vary applications. appears different contexts: sales design, p...
