Further Development

With the gradual implementation of the Belt & Road Initiative, China Railway Express (CRExpress) has gradually gained support as an important transportation mode between China and Europe. However, the high cost of operation, caused by the unscientific organization mode and the small quantity of returning cargo, hinders the further development of CRExpress. Prior studies have shown that applying the hub-and-spoke transportation organization mode to the CRExpress system could decrease operational cost effectively. To carry out network planning for CRExpress, based on its present situation and properties, a conventional hub location model is adjusted. The network planning location model for CRExpress which minimizes total operation cost and allows direct transportation mode is proposed as well as an algorithm based on the genetic algorithm (GA) approach. The reasonableness and feasibility of the model and algorithm are investigated and verified through a case study based on the CRExpress system. The result indicates that Chengdu, Yingkow, and Zhengzhou are selected as consolidation centers whereas Urumqi and Xining adopt direct transportation mode.

Projection Network

Hubs are critical facilities in the power projection network. Due to the uncertainty factors such as terrorism threats, severe weather, and natural disasters, hub facilities may be disrupted randomly, which could lead to excessive cost or loss in practice. One of the most effective ways to withstand and reduce the impact of disruptions is designing more resilient networks. In this paper, a stochastic programming model is employed for the hub location problem in the presence of random hub failures. A heuristic algorithm based on Monte Carlo method and tabu search is put forward to solve the model. The proposed approach is more general if there are numbers of hubs that would fail even with different failure probability. Compared with the benchmark model, the model which takes the factor of stochastic failure of hubs into account can give a more resilient power projection network.

This paper considers an integrated hub location and revenue management problem in which a set of capacities is available from which one can be chosen for each hub and the disruption is considered in a star-star shaped airline network. We propose a two-stage stochastic programming model to maximize the profit of the network in which the cost of installing the hubs at different levels of capacities, the transportation cost, and the revenue obtained by selling airline tickets are considered. To provide flexible solutions, a hybrid two-stage stochastic programming-robust optimization model is developed by putting relative emphasis on a weighted sum of profit maximization. Furthermore, a sample average approximation approach is used for solving the stochastic programming formulation and a genetic algorithm approach is applied for both formulations. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the mathematical formulations and compare the performance of the used approaches.
