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...

Different routing strategies may result in different behaviors of traffic in internet. We review the routing strategies developed recently in the field of physics and show that the traffic can be significantly improved by the adaptive routing approaches. Comparing with the shortest path approach, the adaptive routing approaches can reduce the over-loading of hub nodes and thus increase the capa...

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 consider the effect of network topology on the optimality of packet routing which is quantified by gammac, the rate of packet insertion beyond which congestion and queue growth occurs. We show that for any network, there exists an absolute upper bound, expressed in terms of vertex separators, for the scaling of gammac with network size N, irrespective of the static routing protocol used. We ...

We consider the hub location problem, where p hubs are chosen from a given set of nodes, each nonhub node is connected to exactly one hub and each hub is connected to a central hub. Links are installed on the arcs of the resulting network to route the traffic. The aim is to find the hub locations and the connections to minimize the link installation cost. We propose two formulations and a heuri...

In this paper, we propose an extension of the uncapacitated hub location problem where potential positions hubs are not fixed in advance. Instead, they allowed to belong a region around initial discrete set nodes. We give general framework which collection, transportation, and distribution costs based on norm-based distances hub-activation setup depend only that opened but also size placed. Two...
