An Extended Model for Disaster Relief Operations Used on the Hagibis Typhoon Case in Japan
This paper presents a generalization of a previously defined lexicographical dynamic flow model based on multi-objective optimization for solving the multi-commodity aid distribution problem in the aftermath of a catastrophe. The model considers distribution of the two major commodities of food and...
