Abstract

The article deals with the process of searching the optimal locations of logistic hubs in conditions of postal logistic network of Slovak Post. The research adopted in this article uses allocation models within graph theory to obtain results for addressed optimization problem. The optimization is based on demographic and economic characteristics of Slovak republic. Selected allocation models are applied on the road infrastructure with objective to determine the optimal location of postal hubs. The results can serve as a basis for modification of the used model for the simulation of logistic networks in the postal sector.

Keywords: postal network, allocation models, p-median, fixed charge facility location
