Robust weighted vertex p-center model considering uncertain data: An application to emergency management
Weighted p-center model is proposed for locating urgent relief distribution centers. Uncertain relief demands and delivery times are represented by fixed intervals. The objective is to optimize worst-case performances. Property of worst-case scenarios is identified and applied in the algorithm. The proposed model is applied to a real-world case based on a massive earthquake.
