A hybrid heuristic for the uncapacitated hub location problem
Article Abstract:
A new heuristic method is developed to solve the uncapacitated hub location problem (UHP). The hybrid heuristic, which was based on genetic algorithms and tabu search (TS), was able to determine the number of hubs, the location of hubs and the assignment of spokes to the hubs. The genetic algorithm and the TS component proved useful in diversifying the search and localizing the search, respectively.

Search strategies for the feeder bus network design problem
Article Abstract:
A combined building plus improving heuristic procedure demonstrates the ability to solve the problem that arises in public transport system, the Feeder Bus Design Network Problem (FBDP). The procedure obtains a solution through a sequential savings or a two-phase method that includes local search and tabu search heuristics with different strategies.
