The increasing demand for multimodal freight transportation makes the expansion of new secondary hubs necessary. carbon tax has also received attention from various sectors due to development requirements green transportation. Therefore, this study proposed a transport hub location problem, where emissions are specifically considered achieve strategic planning. A mixed integer non-linear progra...

In this paper, we introduce a new hub-and-spoke structure for service networks based on round-trips as practiced by some transport providers. This problem is variant of Uncapacitated Hub Location Problem wherein the spoke nodes allocated to hub node form (cycles) starting from and ending node. motivated two real-life practices in logistics runaway connections with their associated economies sca...

We investigate a variant of the many-to-many hub location-routing problem which consists in partitioning the set of nodes of a graph into routes containing exactly one hub each, and determining an extra route interconnecting all hubs. A variable neighborhood descent with neighborhood structures based on remove/add, swap and exchange moves nested with routing and location operations is used as a...

Hubs are special facilities that serve as switching, transshipment and sorting points in many-to-many distribution systems. The hub location problem is concerned with locating hub facilities and allocating demand nodes to hubs in order to route the traffic between origin–destination pairs. In this paper we classify and survey network hub location models. We also include some recent trends on hu...

This paper investigates a collaborative scheduling model in the assembly system, wherein multiple suppliers have to deliver their components to the multiple manufacturers under the operation of Supply-Hub. We first develop two different scenarios to examine the impact of Supply-Hub. One is that suppliers and manufacturers make their decisions separately, and the other is that the Supply-Hub mak...

Hubs are special centers that used for switching, transferring and handling freight or passengers in transportation systems. The hub location problem deals with locating hub facilities and allocating demand nodes to hubs in order to route the traffic between origin–destination pairs. Aiming at minimizing the total costs, maximizing utilization of transporters, maximizing the service level, etc....

Hub facility location problem looks to find the most appropriate location for deploying such facilities. An important factor in such a problem is the pool of potential locations from which the optimal locations must be selected. The present research was performed to address two key objectives: identifying the factors contributing to the selection locations for hub establishment, and presenting ...

The Single Allocation Ordered Median Hub Location problem is a recent hub model introduced in [36] that provides a unifying analysis of a wide class of hub location models. In this paper, we deal with the capacitated version of this problem, presenting two formulations as well as some preprocessing phases for fixing variables. In addition, a strengthening of one of these formulations is also st...

A new multi-objective intermodal hub-location-allocation problem is modeled in this paper in which both the origin and the destination hub facilities are modeled as an M/M/m queuing system. The problem is being formulated as a constrained bi-objective optimization model to minimize the total costs as well as minimizing the total system time. A small-size problem is solved on the GAMS software t...
