A Humanitarian Logistics Model for disaster relief operation considering network failure and standard relief time

This paper, discusses a multi-depot location-routing model that we consider network failure by uses of vehicles and standard relief time. The model allocate locations of local depots and routing for last mile distribution just after an earthquake. The model is divided by two-part stochastic program with travel time which obeys uniform distribution and we deliberate on split-delivery. Some small cases have been solved by use of GAMS software. A variable neighborhood search algorithm is proposed to solve the deterministic model
