To the problem of being lack of transit network hierarchy theory, a research on public transit network hierarchy optimization based on residential transit trip distance is conducted. Firstly, the hierarchy standard of transit network is given, in addition, both simulating electron cloud model and Rayleigh distribution model are used to fit the residential transit trip distance. Secondly, from t...

Mobility, safety, and environmental sustainability are priorities in the geometric design of roundabouts. This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model that determines elements single-lane roundabouts using all three objectives. The user can specify weights for objectives, or determine optimal weights. Mobility is defined terms roundabout delay modeled United Kingdom empirical model....

In the present research, a multi-objective model is proposed, which considers equity among the citizens in addition to the cost criterion. Then, the model will be solved using Reservation Level Tchebycheff Procedure (RLTP), which is one of the interactive multi-objective decision-making techniques. Subsequently, the obtained results will be compared with those of the single-objective models to ...

From the most important issues in the design of large logistics network in times of crisis are providing a timely quick reaction for treating of injured people and the rapid distribution of medicines and medical equipment. In this paper, a multi-objective model is presented that aims to determine the location of transfer points and hospitals to provide timely quick reaction for treating injured...

In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...
