Abstract

This paper introduces a bi‐objective strategic location problem to address access and coverage. While previous research in continuous location modelling considered access coverage independently, none has approached such a problem in an integrated fashion. In this paper, a new mathematical formulation considering access and coverage is derived, and a solution algorithm to find the entire set of optimal tradeoff solutions is developed. Application findings are reported for several case studies, varying in problem size. The developed approach is shown to provide critical insights for real‐time decision‐making, facilitating planning, management and policy development. Este artículo introduce un problema de localización estratégica bi‐objetivo para abordar el acceso y la cobertura. Mientras que las investigaciones anteriores sobre la modelización de la localización continua han considerado la cobertura del acceso de forma independiente, ninguna ha abordado este problema de forma integrada. En este artículo se obtiene una nueva formulación matemática que considera el acceso y la cobertura, y se desarrolla un algoritmo como solución para encontrar todo el conjunto de soluciones óptimas de compromiso. Los resultados de la aplicación se presentan en varios estudios de caso, que varían en cuanto al tamaño del problema. Se demuestra que el enfoque desarrollado proporciona revelaciones críticas para la toma de decisiones en tiempo real y para facilitar la planificación, la gestión y el desarrollo de políticas. 本稿では、アクセスとカバレッジに対処するために、二目的戦略的立地問題を導入する。連続立地モデリングの既存研究では、アクセスとカバレッジを独立して考慮したが、これまで統合的方法でこのような問題に取り組んだものはない。本稿では、アクセスとカバレッジを考慮した新しい数学的定式化を導出し、トレードオフの最適解の全体集合を見出す解法のアルゴリズムを開発する。問題の大きさが異なるいくつかの事例研究について、応用の知見を報告した。開発したアプローチから、リアルタイム意思決定、計画、管理および政策立案を容易にするための重要な洞察が得られることが示された。
