Selection of City Distribution Locations in Urbanized Areas

This paper aims to apply a preference method for selecting optimal city distribution reloading locations in urbanized areas. The focus in the optimization is on trucks entering the urbanized area where the truck can choose between at least two locations with similar distances determined by a specified integer value generated randomly by a given interval. Results from a numerical example show that a sorting order of city distribution reloading locations with similar distance can be effectually obtained with this approach.
