In this paper, we study the “Multi-Robot Routing problem” with min–max objective (MRR-MM) in detail. It involves assignment of sequentially ordered tasks to robots such that maximum cost slowest robot is minimized. The problem description, different types formulations, and methods used across various research communities are discussed paper. We propose a new formulation by treating as permutati...

The location of the distribution facilities and the routing of the vehicles from these facilities are interdependent in many distribution systems. Such a concept recognizes the interdependence; attempts to integrate these two decisions have been limited. Multi-objective location-routing problem (MLRP) is combined with the facility location and the vehicle routing decision and satisfied the diff...

Although current technologies allow simple online banking transactions, it is vital to guarantee access bank branches both for customers and businesses. Banking branch interactions improve trust in institutions everyday situations emergencies. This research addresses the problem of location facilities. A set objective functions related socio-economic variables, geographical coverage bankers pre...

in the recent decade, special attention is paid to reverse logistic due to economic benefits of recovery and recycling of used products as well as environmental legislation and social concerns. on the other hand، many researches claim that separately and sequential planning of forward and reverse logistic causes sub-optimality. effective transport activities are also one of the most important c...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a characterized by multi-hop wireless links, absence of any cellular infrastructure, and frequent host mobility. Existing MANET routing protocols are divided into location-aware and non-locationaware routing protocols. In a location-aware routing protocol, location information can be exploited to facilitate routing. Our protocol, namely multi-eye spiral-hoppin...

One of the most important problems for distribution companies is to find the best locations for depots and to find proper routes for transportation vehicles and to optimize supply network. This study intends to develop a model for the problem of location-routing in post offices. So, a new Bi-Objective Location-Routing Problem for Locating Town Post Office and Routing Parcels is defined. This pr...
