Abstract

In transport networks consisting of nodes with surpluses or deficits of products, central transshipment facilities (hubs), and interconnecting links, strategic and tactical network design problems, as well as operational routing problems have to be solved. Strategic network design problems determine the number and location of hubs within the network.
