Integrated transportation system planning with gravitational search algorithm approach based on fuzzy mutant controller by Alireza Hosseinzadeh Kashani, Seyed Ahmad Shayannia, Mohammad Mehdi Movahedi, Soheila Sardar

“…The main difference between routing positioning problem and traditional positioning problem is that in the first one, after determining the location of facilities, communication routes between customers and facilities are examined as a tour, but in the second one, it is assumed that there are direct routes between customers and facilities, which ultimately leads to an increase in distribution costs. So, unlike the traditional positioning method, in the routing positioning method, considering the tour, it simultaneously looks for the optimal places of facilities and also the optimal routes.…”
