With the development of social economy, the increasing demand on hazardous materials transportation has received considerable attention around the world and the location‐routing problem has become a hot topic of study. The goal of our work is to obtain the best balance between the transportation risk and cost under the assumptions that the transportation costs and the number of affected people are fuzzy variables. Within the framework of credibility theory, we propose a chance‐constrained programming model and design a fuzzy simulation–based genetic algorithm to solve the model. Numerical experiments are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed model and algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
