Abstract: This pap er considers two discrete lo cation problems: Bus Terminal Lo cation Problem (BTLP) and Long-term Care Facility Lo cation Problem (LTCFLP). Vari- able Neighb orho o d Search (VNS) metho d for solving BTLP and LTCFLP is pre- sented in this pap er. VNS is a single-solution based metaheuristic based on system- atic change of neighb orho o ds while searching for optimal solution of the problem. It consists two main phases: shake phase and lo cal search phase. BTLP is a discrete lo cation problem which considers lo cating bus terminals in order to provide the highest p ossible quality of public service to the clients. Clients are presented as public transp ortation stations, such as bus or metro stations. VNS algorithm is used for solving BTLP. This algorithm uses improved lo cal search based on e cient neighb orho o d interchange. VNS is parallelized (PVNS) which leads to signi cant time improvement in function of the pro cessor core count. Computa- tional results show that prop osed PVNS metho d improves existing results from the literature in terms of quality. Larger instances, based on instances from the Trav- eling Salesman Problem library, are presented and computational results for those instances are rep orted. LTCFLP is created as a part of health care infrastructure planning in South Korea. Clients are considered as groups of patients with a need of long-term health care, while established facilities present lo cations where the centers that provide health care services should b e built. Prede ned are n lo cations where centers are to b e established. This problem seeks at most K lo cations to establish health centers so they are to b e equally loaded with clients demand. For solving LTCFLP, by using VNS algorithm, data structure based on fast interchange is presented. It reduces the time complexity of one iteration of lo cal search algorithm to O ( n · max( n,K 2 )) comparing to the known time complexity from the literature O ( K 2 · n 2 ) . Reduced time complexity of the presented VNS leads to b etter quality solutions, due to larger numb er of VNS iterations that can b e p erformed in less computational time. This pap er presents computational results that outp erform the b est known results from the literature. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/4744 Files in this item: 1
