Abstract:

In this paper we present the problem of designing a three level hub center network. In our network, the top level consists of a complete network where a direct link is between all central hubs.  The second and third levels consist of star networks that connect the hubs to central hubs and the demand nodes to hubs and thus to central hubs, respectively. We model this problem in an incomplete network environment. In this case, the top level is an incomplete network where the direct link between all central hubs is not necessary and may lead to lower transportation costs. We propose mixed integer programming model for these problems and conduct a computational study for these two developed models by using the CAB data.

On the single-assignment p-hub center problem

We study the computational aspects of the single-assignment p-hub center problem on the basis of a basic model and a new model. The new model's performance is substantially better in CPU time than di€erent linearizations of the basic model. We also prove the NP-Hardness of the problem. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Designing Incomplete Hub Location-routing Network in Urban Transportation Problem

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...

Design of a Bi-Objective Capacitated Single-Allocation Incomplete Hub Network Considering an Elastic Demand

This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...

Single ‎A‎ssignment Capacitated Hierarchical Hub Set Covering Problem for Service Delivery Systems Over Multilevel Networks

The present study introduced a novel hierarchical hub set covering problem with capacity constraints. This study showed the significance of fixed charge costs for locating facilities, assigning hub links and designing a productivity network. The proposed model employs mixed integer programming to locate facilities and establish links between nodes according to the travel time between an origin-...

Capacitated Single-Assignment Hub Covering Location Problem under Fuzzy Environment

This paper studies capacitated single-allocation hub covering location problem with fuzzy cover radius and travel time. Objective of hub covering problem is to find the minimum number of hubs considering the maximum allowable travel time. Computational results show that due to uncertainty, number of hubs and the allocation of non-hub nodes to hub nodes are changed. This paper proposes heuristic...
