Abstract

This paper presents a new multi-objective mathematical model for a multi-modal hub location problem under a possibilistic-stochastic uncertainty. The presented model aims to minimize the total transportation and traffic noise pollution costs. Furthermore, it aims to minimize the maximum transportation time between origin-destination nodes to ensure a high probability of meeting the service guarantee. In order to cope with the uncertainties and the multi-objective model, we propose a two-phase approach, including fuzzy interactive multi-objective programming approach and an efficient method based on the Me measure. Due to the NP-hardness of the presented model, two meta-heuristic algorithms, namely hybrid differential evolution and hybrid imperialist competitive algorithm, are developed. Furthermore, a number of sensitivity analyses are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented model. Finally, the foregoing meta-heuristics are compared together through different comparison metrics.
