Two data sets
Synthetic 30 point data sets and optimal locations by Rosing (1992)
Leeds ED boundary and geodemographic data ( 1388 ED zones)
Objective functions (P-median problems) & methods
- minimise total aggregated travel cost from the centres allocated
- Random RLA, A hybrid GA, and three functions on ZDES
Empirical evaluation
- Computational performance as Efficiency ( speed of approach to the objective)
- mean aggregated travel cost as Effectivity (reliability under varying conditions)
