Abstract : This paper deals with a hub location-routing problem which integrates the hub location problem and the multidepot
vehicle routing problem. To solve these problems simultaneously we present asolution framework which divides the
problem into two sub-problems: the hub location problem in the first stage and the multi-depot vehicle routing problem in
the second one. The two-phase approach hybridizes two meta-heuristics, an ant colony optimization algorithm for the first
stage with a genetic algorithm for the second stage, respectively. We determine the locations of prescribed p hubs within a
set of candidate potential hubs, the allocation of each customer node to each selected hub as well as the vehicle routes for
each hub in order to minimize the sum of the fixed hub costs, traveling costs and fixed vehicle costs. The performance of the
proposed solution method is investigated through a computational experiment.
