Abstract: | An important concern for any nation wishing to convert to alternate, environmentally friendly energy sources is the development of appropriate fuel distribution infrastructure. The authors address the problem of optimally locating gas station facilities for developing nations, like India, which are in the process of converting to automobiles using hydrogen or electrical energy. An integer-programming model with the objective of balancing the perspectives of coverage and cost is presented for this facility location problems. |
