The aim of this paper is to provide insights for better modeling hub location problems to help
create a road map for future hub location research. We first present a taxonomy to provide a …

Hub location problem (HLP) is a relatively new extension of classical facility location
problems. Hubs are facilities that work as consolidation, connecting, and switching points for …

In this study, we review the covering problems in facility location. Here, besides a number of
reviews on covering problems, a comprehensive review of models, solutions and …

Last year was the 25th anniversary of two seminal transportation hub location publications,
which appeared in 1986 in Transportation Science and Geographical Analysis. Though …

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 …

The design of the distribution system is a strategic issue for almost every company. The
problem of locating facilities and allocating customers covers the core topics of distribution …

We present a new LP formulation for the single allocation p-hub median problem, which
requires fewer variables and constraints than those traditionally used in the literature. We …

Publisher Summary Intermodal transportation may be defined as the transportation of a
person or a load from its origin to its destination by a sequence of at least two transportation …

The problem of locating hub facilities and allocating non-hub nodes to those hubs arises
frequently in the design of communication networks, airline passenger flow and parcel …

Hubs, or central trans-shipment facilities, allow the construction of a network where large
numbers of direct connections can be replaced with fewer, indirect connections. Hub-and …
