Hierarchical multimodal hub location problem is a cost-minimizing hub covering problem where two types of hubs and hub links, accounting for ground and air transportation, are to be established, while ensuring time-definite deliveries. We propose a mixed-integer programming formulation and...

Hub location problems are network design problems which are solved as part of a strategic decision making process. In strategic planning, decisions may have a long lasting effect and the implementation may take considerable time. Moreover, input data is not precisely known in advance. Hence,...
