2 Outline Background  Infrastructure network design  Facility disruptions Mathematical Model  Formulation challenges  Modeling approach Numerical Examples  Solution quality  Case studies

3 Facilities are to be built to serve spatially distributed customers Trade-off  one-time facility investment  day-to-day transportation costs Optimal locations of facilities? Logistics Infrastructure Network 3 Transp. cost Facility cost Customer Facility …

4 Infrastructure Facility Disruptions Facilities may be disrupted due to  Natural disasters  Power outages  Strikes… Adverse impacts  Excessive operational cost  Reduced service quality  Deteriorate customer satisfaction… Effects on facility planning  Suboptimal system design  Erroneous budget estimation 4

5 Impacts of Facility Disruptions Excessive operations cost (including travel & penalty)  Visit the closest functioning facility within a reachable distance  If all facilities within the penalty distance fail, the customer will receive a penalty cost Reliable design? Reachable Distance Operations Cost Facility cost

6 Literature Review Traditional models  Deterministic models (Daskin, 1995; Drezner, 1995)  Demand uncertainty (Daskin, 1982, 1983; Ball and Lin, 1993; Revelle and Hogan, 1989; Batta et al., 1989)  Continuum approximation (Newell 1973; Daganzo and Newell, 1986; Langevin et al.,1996; Ouyang and Daganzo, 2006) Reliable models  I.i.d. failures (Snyder and Daskin, 2005; Chen et al., 2011; An et al.,2012)  Site-dependent (yet independent) failures (Cui et al., 2010;)  Special correlated failures (Li and Ouyang 2010, Liberatore et al. 2012) Most reliable location studies assume disruptions are independent 6
