Hub location problems: the state of the art

Hub Location Problem (HLP) with the purpose of designing the distribution network is known as one of the important problems in different fields of daily life such as passengers transferring in airline networks, receiving and sending the postal parcels, telecommunication network design, public transportation and communication. The target of hub location problem is finding the location of hub facilities and assigning the nodes demand to hub facilities. While some researchers have presented few review papers on hub location problems, the latest one (Zanjirani Farahani et al. 2013. Hub location problems: A review of models classification, solution techniques, and applications) focuses on reviewing the latest progresses in HLP from 2007 up to 2013. Accordingly, this paper concentrates on reviewing the presented researches and developments in HLP from 2013 up to now
