| Research Abstract |
We developed location models which determine locations and opening hours of facilities so as to maximally cover flows in a network. The number of potential customers is defined as the number of commuters who can stop over at one of the facilities during service hours and can go back home by the given time. We applied our model to the analysis of optimal locations and opening hours of several facilities using the commuter traffic flow data in Tokyo Metropolitan area.
