“…In our approach, on the contrary, the reference GAPs may be located at any point of the city roads (same assumption as in Bautista & Pereira, 2006) and their number and position result from the elaboration of a method determined by the "urban geography" of the dwellings to be served.…”

Locating and sizing garbage bins for the separate accumulation of household solid waste within urban areas is of primary interest for the local administrations that so far lack adequate IT support. The paper highlights the versatility of a method for solving such a problem, which involves both standard and geographic data. Implementation of the proposal, centered around a spatial database, goes in the direction of developing a supporting software tool to the officials responsible for the management of municipal solid waste. They are offered a dual-mode display of the results: one tabular (the standard format featured by relational databases) and the other based on the metaphor of geographic maps, the latter being particularly useful in capitalizing on the spatial component of the problem.

“…The authors propose a genetic algorithm to solve this two-level reverse logistics network design problem. Bautista and Pereira (2006) model the problem of locating collection areas using a set covering type formulation. A genetic algorithm and a GRASP heuristic is proposed and applied using data on the municipal waste collection in Barcelona.…”

In this paper, we study a collection center location problem with equity considerations within reverse logistics network design. The aim of the problem is to determine the locations and the capacities of the collection centers through the planning horizon. For each time period, the decisions to be made include the location and the capacities of the collection centers, the amounts of products to send from each generation point to each collection center, and the amounts of products to send from each collection center to each firm. The problem has three objectives. The first one is to minimize total cost, the second one is to ensure equity among different firms, and the third is to provide steady flow of products to each firm along the planning horizon. The problem is modeled as a multi-objective mixed integer programming formulation. An implementation of the problem in Turkey within the context of waste electrical and electronic equipment collection is presented. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to observe the effect of changes in the problem parameters on the solutions. The analyses include changes in the fixed costs and container capacities, changes in the amount of supply and changes in the growth rate. In addition, the solution potential of the model and value of using a multi-period model as opposed to using a static one are investigated.

“…The objective of the Police Patrol Area Covering problem (PPAC) was to "maximize the number of incidents served or 'covered' within a desired response time" [13]. Also, the MCLP and set covering models have been applied to similar urban location problems [14,15]. Additional vehicle scheduling problems with locational aspects have been studied more recently [16][17][18], and the sensitivity of operating in a nuclear environment can be seen in [19][20][21].…”
