Abstract

We consider the multiple allocation hub maximal covering problem (MAHMCP): Considering a serviced O-D flow was required to reach the destination optionally passing through one or two hubs in a limited time, cost or distance, what is the optimal way to locate p hubs to maximize the serviced flows? By designing a new model for the MAHMCP, we provide an evolutionary approach based on path relinking. The Computational experience of an AP data set was presented. And a special application on hub airports location of Chinese aerial freight flows between 82 cities in 2002 was introduced.
