Abstract:Relief distribution is one of the key steps for emergency response after a major public emergency. Relief commodities requirements of demand node are presented intervals based on robust optimization. The facilities failure risk is processed by stochastic programming. The model of emergency location-routing problem is developed to minimize the total transportation time. An improved genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the model. Finally, the validity of the model and algorithm is demonstrated by a numerical example based on earthquake relief distribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
