The Flow Refueling Location Model (FRLM) is a flow-intercepting model that locates p stations on a network to maximize the refueling of origin–destination flows. Because of the limited driving range of vehicles, network vertices do not constitute a finite dominating set. This paper extends the...

This paper presents three heuristic algorithms that solve for the optimal locations for refueling stations for alternative-fuels, such as hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, or electricity. The Flow-Refueling Location Model (FRLM) locates refueling stations to maximize the flow that can...

Many US cities have recently built or approved light-rail systems to combat congestion, sprawl, and pollution. Critics questions light rail's ability to generate ridership in low-density, automobile-oriented, polycentric US cities with smaller downtowns. Proponents counter that sufficient...
