In this paper, we present a capacitated multiple allocation hub location problem, which arose from a network design problem in German wagonload traffic. We develop heuristic solution approaches based on local improvements. We solve the problem with the heuristics and CPLEX on test data sets provided by our partner Deutsche Bahn AG. The computational results are presented and compared.

In this survey, we examine an important class of facility location problems known as the multisource Weber problem (also referred to as the continuous location-allocation problem). We also show how recent advances in the use of metaheuristic rules have significantly improved the ability to solve problems of this type. The new solution methods are discussed for both the well known multisource W...

Facility location allocation problem is a very important issue in today's global logistic management. Various facility location problems have been considered in operations research under somehow stringent conditions to reduce the search space. In this paper, we consider a class of single source capacitated facility location allocation problems that can assume more realistic conditions in real l...

We consider the capacitated k-center problem. In this problem we are given a finite set of locations in a metric space and each location has an associated non-negative integer capacity. The goal is to choose (open) k locations (called centers) and assign each location to an open center to minimize the maximum, over all locations, of the distance of the location to its assigned center. The numbe...

The p-median problem is a graph theory problem that was originally designed for, and has been extensively applied to, facility location. In this bibliography, we summarize the literature on solution methods for the uncapacitated and capacitated p-median problem on a graph or network.

The goals of hub location problems are finding the location of hub facilities and determining the allocation of non-hub nodes to these located hubs. In this work, we discuss the multi-modal single allocation capacitated p-hub covering problem over fully interconnected hub networks. Therefore, we provide a formulation to this end. The purpose of our model is to find the location of hubs and the ...

Province X in Indonesia has a significant problem with trash that been challenging to address. The Environment Agency therefore desires construct an inorganic Trash Management System. four potential locations various capacities. purpose of this research is locate treatment system's best possible site and allocate each TPS less than 30 km more over from the chosen system, respectively, ensure ov...
