A multi-objective formulation of maximal covering location problem with customers’ preferences: Exploring Pareto optimality-based solutions

作者:

Highlights:

• A new multi-objective maximal covering location problem is proposed.

• Customers’ preferences for different potential facility locations are considered.

• A Pareto optimality-based multi-objective harmony search algorithm is proposed.

• NSGA-II and CPLEX optimizer are used for performance comparisons.
