Hub network design for integrated Bike-and-Ride services: A competitive approach to reducing automobile dependence

The impacts of COVID-19 on older adults’ active transportation mode usage in Isfahan, Iran

“…Isfahan city with a population about 2 million is the center of Isfahan Province, located at the crossroads of the main north-south and east-west routes of Iran ( Mansourianfar and Haghshenas, 2018 ; Tavassoli and Tamannaei, 2020 ). Its population growth rate in 1956 was 5.8% and decreased to 1.89% in 2016.…”

Mathematical modeling of a bi-objective hub location-routing problem for rapid transit networks

“…In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to hub structures for designing public transportation networks, which usually are multimodal, especially those with rapid transit modes. Some of the studies in this case are [12,24,27,36,40,41,43,51,54]. In these studies, rapid transit modes are usually considered for the hub-level subnetworks, and the spoke-level sub-networks are usually assigned to road vehicles (such as cars and trucks) [40,41], buses [24,43], or ships [21].…”

Perspectives on modeling hub location problems

“…The classical hub location applications have been extended in a variety of ways to better tailor the models to particular application settings. Hub network design for bike and ride systems has been studied in Tavassoli and Tamannae (2020) . In energy management, Aboytes-Ojeda et al (2020) provides an example for a huband-spoke network design problem encountered in biofuel supply chains.…”

“…Some new applications have also been addressed in the recent literature. Dukkanci, Peker, and Kara (2019) introduce the green hub problem, Mirzapour-Kamanaj, Majidi, Zare, and Kazemzadeh (2020) address energy transmission hub networks, and bike-andride hub systems are addressed by Tavassoli and Tamannae (2020) . Hub systems for medical applications are important including in drone delivery networks ( Macias, Angeloudis, & Ochieng, 2020 ), to access medication treatment for opioid use disorders ( Miele et al, 2020;Reif, Brolin, Stewart, Fuchs, & Mazel, 2020 ), and in identifying structures in functional brain networks ( Esfahlani et al, 2020 ).…”
