LOCATION-ROUTING PROBLEMS. VEHICLE ROUTING: METHODS AND STUDIES. STUDIES IN MANAGEMENT SCIENCE AND SYSTEMS - VOLUME 16

Location-routing problems involve locating a number of facilities among candidate sites and establishing delivery routes to a set of users in such a way that the total system cost is minimized. This paper reviews this class of problems that is characterized by the interaction between location and routing decisions. The main examples and applications found in the literature are described. Mathematical models as well as heuristic and exact algorithms for their solution are then presented. (Author/TRRL)
