“…A stationary hub has different needs than a mobile hub. For example, historical models consider five main Spatio-structural criteria as outlined and used by Shahparvari et al: Transportation Infrastructures, Geophysical Conditions, Socio-Economic Infrastructures, Environmental Limits and Geo-political Conditions [7]. Transportation Infrastructures is defined as access to a transportation network, in our case, interstates and roads.…”

“…Environmental limits encompass vegetation cover, soil types, and temperature. Geo-Political Conditions consider proximity to political boundaries [7]. Some of these criteria do not apply to mobile hubs (Environmental Limits, Geo-Political Conditions, and Socio-economic Infrastructures), but some may prove useful and should be considered (Transportation Infrastructures and Geophysical Conditions) as seen in the following paragraphs.…”

Though environmentally friendly in many regards, local supply chains are often inefficient due to lack of proper infrastructure. This paper explores the use and placement of mobile hubs for consolidation and distribution of goods in local supply chains. Specifically, we look at local food supply chains where food typically travels from rural farms to suburban and urban restaurants. Currently, consolidation is minimal and not optimized in these supply chains. This paper computes suitability and location analysis through a novel multi-criterion scoring methodology utilizing kernel density and network analysis. The effectiveness of these mobile hubs is assessed through strategic routing, where the routes are optimized for time and distance. Results indicate that on average mobile hubs do in fact reduce mileage and number of stops, lessening emissions in addition to saving time and money. The proposed methodology can be implemented in other local supply chains to better consolidate and distribute goods.
