Strategically Locating Wildlife Crossing Structures for Florida Panthers Using Maximal Covering Approaches

Crossing structures are an effective method for mitigating habitat fragmentation and reducing wildlifevehicle collisions, although high construction costs limit the number that can be implemented in practice. Therefore, optimizing the placement of crossing structures in road networks is suggested as a strategic conservation planning method. This research explores two approaches for using the ma...

Mathematical Model for Bi-objective Maximal Hub Covering Problem with Periodic Variations of Parameters

The problem of maximal hub covering as a challenging problem in operation research. Transportation programming seeks to find an optimal location of a set of hubs to reach maximum flow in a network. Since the main structure's parameters of the problem such as origin-destination flows, costs and travel time, change periodically in the real world applications, new issues arise in handling it. In t...

An exact Method for Stochastic Maximal Covering Problem of Preventive Healthcare Facilities

Effective preventive healthcare services have a significant role in reducing fatality and medical expenses in all human societies and the level of accessibility of customers to these services can be considered as a measure of their efficiency and effectiveness. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a service network design model of preventive healthcare facilities with the principal obje...
