Traffic management during an evacuation and the decision of where to locate the shelters
are of critical importance to the performance of an evacuation plan. From the evacuation …

This study considers a flowshop type production system consisting of m machines. A
material handling robot transports the parts between the machines and loads and unloads …

To support the safe and widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban
environments, industry stakeholders and regulatory authorities are partnering to develop …

In this study, we pose and analyze an evacuation network design problem to provide a
planning tool to help with high-level design decisions involved in strategic preparedness for …

This paper studies a version of the fixed-charge multicommodity network design problem
where in addition to the traditional costs of flow and design, congestion at nodes is explicitly …

The location behaviors of manufacturing industries are analyzed in the context of the
economic globalization, and a programming model that integrates the flow-capturing …

The logistics distribution of prefabricated components is an important issue facing the
realization of “building industrialization” in China. However, the current transportation …

Supply chain network design involves location decisions for production facilities and
distribution centers. We consider a make-to-order supply chain environment where …

This paper describes an exact algorithm to solve a nonlinear mixed-integer programming
model due to capacity expansion and flow assignment in multicommodity networks. The …

We present a survey on nonconvex models and algorithms for multicommodity network
design problems. We put in perspective the alternative modelling of these problems …
