A Fuzzy Model for the Multiobjective Emergency Facility Location Problem with A-Distance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new multiobjective location problem for emergency facilities, e.g. ambulance service stations and fire stations. In the problem, one of the objectives is to minimize the maximal distance of the paths from the located emergency facilities to hospitals via accidents. The other is to maximize the frequency of accidents that the emergency facilities can respond quickly. An interactive fuzzy satisficing method with particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed for finding a satisficing location for the problem. Computational results illustrate the method with numerical examples of the multiobjective location problem.

A multiobjective continuous covering location model
This paper presents a multiobjective continuous covering location problem in fuzzy environment. Because of uncertain covering radius, possibility of covering concept is introduced.Since, the uncertainty may cause risk of uncovering customers; the problemis formulated as a risk management model.

متن کاملA Facility Location Problem with Tchebychev Distance in the Presence of a Probabilistic Line Barrier
This paper considers the Tchebychev distance for a facility location problem with a probabilistic line barrier in the plane. In particular, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for this problem that minimizes the total Tchebychev distance between a new facility and the existing facilities. A numerical example is solved to show the validity of the developed model. Becau...

Proposing a hierarchical group compromise method can be regarded as a one of major multi-attributes decision-making tool that can be introduced to rank the possible alternatives among conflict criteria. Decision makers’ (DMs’) judgments are considered as imprecise or fuzzy in complex and hesitant situations. In the group decision making, an aggregation of DMs’ judgments and fuzzy group compromi...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Algorithm to Optimize Stochastic-fuzzy Capacitated Multi-Facility Location-allocation Problem
Facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the Hurwicz criterion is proposed. Thi...
