A Brief Introduction to the SITATION Software Mark S. Daskin Department of IOE, Univ. of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Summer, 2010

©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan2 What is SITATION? Software to solve location problems Set coveringP-median Maximal CoveringUncap. Fixed charge P-centerLoc./Inv. model Partial covering P-center Partial covering Set covering Covering-Median Tradeoff
3
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan3 Options include Forcing sites in/out of solution Different solution algorithms Heuristic Improvement Lagrangian relaxation in branch and bound (optimal) Mapping Reporting Manual facility exchanges (for some objectives)
4
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan4 Main Menu First you load the data
5
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan5 Loading the data Specify distance metric Euclidean Great circle Manhattan Network
6
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan6 Specify file to read
7
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan7 Basic input file format 1 73.945478 40.670543 7322564 2819401 189600 Node number, longitude, latitude, demand 1, demand 2, fixed cost, Demand 2 is usually ignored, but you can take a weighted sum of Demand 1 and Demand 2 if you want to do so
8
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan8 Specify how distances are to be obtained computed from a file Network distances must be read from a file!
9
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan9 Now set key parameters Set key parameters coverage distance cost per demand per mile
10
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan10 Specify key parameters Values used for REPORTING purposes even if not used in optimization
11
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan11 Also force nodes into/out of solution
12
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan12 Now you can run a problem Or a multi-objective model Run a single objective model
13
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan13 Select objective function Not all available in free student version
14
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan14 Select an algorithm Available algorithms depend on problem selected for solution.
15
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan15 Specify number to locate -1 for some Problems (e.g., uncap fixed charge) allows program to determine optimal value
16
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan16 Set Lagrangian parameters Parameters control Lagrangian effort and other related options (substitution, intermed. Display, branch and bound, Initial lag mult., Etc.) USE Defaults if not sure what to do.
17
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan17 Watch Lagrangian Progress
18
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan18 Now see, map, change results Tabular and graphical summariesMap resultsExchange, delete, add sites manually
19
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan19 Select summary result to display
20
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan20 Basic summary Shows input values, problem selected, bounds, iterations, B&B nodes, seconds, etc.
21
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan21 Extended summary shows Shows locations, coverage, average distance, total cost, etc.
22
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan22 Number of times covered… Shows number of nodes and demands covered 0 times, 1 time, 2 times, etc.
23
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan23 Assignment to sites Shows facility assigned to each site, distance to site, demand, dem*dist, total dem*dist, Max dist
24
Summer, 2010©, M.S. Daskin, 2010, Univ. of Michigan24 Node to facility report Shows similar information
25
