Abstract

The transportation network design problem is a well-known optimization problem with many practical applications. This paper deals with demand-based applications, where the operational as well as many other decisions are often made under uncertainty. Capturing the uncertain demand by using scenario-based approach, we formulate the two-stage stochastic mixed-integer linear problem, where the decision, which is made under uncertainty, of the first-stage program, is followed by the second-stage decision that reacts to the observed demand. Such a program may reach solvability limitations of algorithms for large scale real world data, so we refer to the so-called hybrid algorithm that combines a traditional optimization algorithm and a suitable genetic algorithm. The obtained results are presented in an explanatory form with the use of a sequence of figures.
