Purpose: Hub location problems have been utilized in various applications including rail transportation network planning, where hub serves as a key transit point within the network. In this paper, we focus on determining the optimal location for a rail transportation hub, where cost and service...

Background: This paper introduces an enhanced multi-period p-mobile hub location model that accounts for critical factors such as service time, flow processing delays, and congestion impacts at capacity-constrained hubs. As (urban) transportation networks evolve, mobile hubs play an increasingly...

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly disrupted global aviation networks, with long-haul connectivity particularly affected. This study assesses the evolving competitive positions of sixteen major hub airports in the Asia-Pacific region by analyzing their transfer-connectivity performance before and...

Background: Facility location is a key challenge in humanitarian logistics, particularly in disaster response, where rapid and efficient resource deployment is crucial. Temporary facilities offer a cost-effective solution due to their rapid deployment and flexibility in addressing increased...
