摘要: There has been enormous interest about Covering Location Problem (CLP) among both academicians and practitioners around the world. Applications of CLP range from locating fire stations to telecommunications. This paper deals with a special case where travel times are fuzzy variables. In addition, it assumed that variable cost facilities is function distance between facility its farthest assigned node. The objective find solution minimizing total network order be resourceful in finding solutions, hybrid procedure Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) simulation used. Numerical experiments showed our algorithm works well robustness shown through an example.
