In this paper, a comprehensive model for hub location-routing problem is proposed which no network structure other than connectivity is imposed on backbone (i.e. network between hub nodes) and tributary networks (i.e. networks which connect non-hub nodes to hub nodes). This model is applied in public transportation, telecommunication and banking networks. In this model locating and routing is c...

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 ...

The need to make effective plans for locating transportation hubs is of increasing importance in the megaregional area, as recent research suggests that growing intercity travel demand affects efficiency a system. This paper investigates hierarchical facility location problem passenger network. aim study determine locations hub facilities at different levels and distribute demands these with mi...
