| Research Abstract |
Facility location problems seek optimal locations of service facilities for facility users or facility owners. We extend facility location problems by incorporating the temporal dimension. The basic problem is to determine locations and opening hours of facilities so as to maximize the number of potential facility users which is defined as the number of commuters who can stop over at one of the facilities during service hours. Several extensions of the basic model were also explored. We applied the model to Tokyo metropolitan railway network and analyzed desirable locations and opening hours of several facilities using the commuter traffic flow data in Tokyo metropolitan area.
