Heuristic algorithms for siting alternative-fuel stations using the Flow-Refueling Location Model
This paper presents three heuristic algorithms that solve for the optimal locations for refueling stations for alternative-fuels, such as hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, or electricity. The Flow Refueling Location Model (FRLM) locates refueling stations to maximize the flow that can be refueled with a given number of facilities. The FRLM uses path-based demands, and because of the li...
متن کاملOptimal location of discretionary alternative-fuel stations on a tree-network
Due to global concerns about environmental sustainability in ground logistics, there has been widespread research into alternative-fuel (alt-fuel) vehicles. Compressed natural gas buses have been successfully deployed on a commercial scale in public transportation. Also, sales for electric cars have been gradually increasing. However, uses of other alt-fuel vehicles are in their early stages be...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A Nonlinear Model for a Capacitated Location-allocation Problem with Bernoulli Demand using Sub-sources
This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...
متن کاملAlternative fuel station location model with demand learning
In this paper, we study the optimal location decision for a network of alternative fuel stations (AFS) servicing a new market where the demand rate for the refueling service can be learned over time. In the presence of demand learning, the firm needs to make a decision, whether to actively learn the market through a greater initial investment in the AFS network or defer the commitment since an ...
