The design of distribution systems raises hard combinatorial optimization problems. For
instance, facility location problems must be solved at the strategic decision level to place …

This is a review of the literature on variants and extensions of the standard location-routing
problem published since the last survey, by Nagy and Salhi, appeared in 2006. We propose …

In this paper, we present an electric vehicles battery swap stations location routing problem
(BSS–EV–LRP), which aims to determine the location strategy of battery swap stations …

The location‐routing problem (LRP) and its variants have been studied extensively over the
past few years. The number of articles has grown more than ever, since the last surveys …

Abstract Home Health Care (HHC) companies are widespread in European countries, and
aim to serve patients at home to help them recover from illness and injury in a personal …

Distribution of products throughout a supply chain could be managed via multimodal
transportation networks. This will be more likely in long-haul transportation where a decision …

This paper develops a three-step customer clustering based approach to solve two-echelon
location routing problems with time windows. A bi-objective model minimizing costs and …

Key to the mass adoption of electric vehicles is the establishment of a sufficient battery
service infrastructure network on the basis of customer behavior and psychology. Motivated …

Location‐routing is a branch of locational analysis that takes into account distribution
aspects. This paper proposes a taxonomy, with two levels, for location‐routing problems …

This paper examines a reliable capacitated location–routing problem in which depots are
randomly disrupted. Customers whose depots fail must be reinserted into the routes of …
