Issues Related to the Optimization of Location of Vehicle Recycling Network Entities
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2010, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents issues related to the optimization of the location of the entities that belong to the end-of-life vehicle recycling network. A structure of the network has been presented, the criteria of optimization have been defined and the factors that have impact on the selection of the entities while designing the network have been listed. The paper also presents a formulation of an example optimization task in the aspect of total network costs.
