The Location of Interacting Hub Facilities
Abstract
Hubs are central facilities which act as switching points in networks connecting a set of interacting nodes. This paper develops several location models for hubs. The one-hub siting problem is equivalent to a Weber least cost location model. An empirical example demonstrates the relevance of this model for an understanding of contemporary express delivery networks. A new model describing the location of two hubs in a plane yields several interesting pairs of hub location under different assumptions about scale effects on the interfacility linkage: generally as these scale effects increase the locations of the hubs move apart.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
