Abstract
A transportation (automotive service) facility location problem is important in urban infrastructure planning and construction. To handle it, researchers have proposed a number of stochastic/random models for locating an automotive service enterprise. However, most of them fail to describe all kinds of uncertainty, e.g., data imprecision. By considering regional constraints, this work proposes a new random fuzzy cost-profit equilibrium model by using uncertainty data and management methods. It presents a hybrid algorithm integrating stochastic fuzzy simulation and particle swarm optimization to solve the location problem of an automobile service enterprise. In addition, since risk factors can impact a decision, this work conducts a risk performance analysis when locating an automotive service enterprise. A practical example is given to illustrate the proposed model and algorithm.
