Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The layout problem in a logistics park, which involves the optimal placement of a set of functionary zones with known dimension, differs from the traditional facility layout problem because obstacles, such as railway or highway, may cross the logistics park. In addition, logistics parks commonly have irregular, instead of rectangular, shape. These additional features require explicit modeling. The authors present a two-stage model to find efficiently competitive solutions to this layout problem. The first stage involves allocating the functionary zones into sections caused by obstacles using clustering technique. The second stage involves the determination of the layout of the functionary zones in the respective sections by combining slicing structure and irregular objects. In addition, heuristic approaches based on genetic algorithm and scatter search are proposed because this layout problem is NP-complete. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed model.
