SUMMARY:A BILEVEL MODEL OF FACILITY LOCATION THAT INVOLVES
 
COMPETITION\, SELFISH USERS AND QUEUES
DESCRIPTION:In a competitive setting\, we consider the problem faced by a
 firm that makes decisions concerning both the location and service levels
 of its facilities\, taking into account that users patronize the facility
 that maximizes their individual utility\, expressed as the sum of travel
 time\, queueing delay\, and a random term. This situation can be modelled
 as a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints that involves
 discrete and continuous variables\, as well as linear and nonlinear
 functions. This program is reformulated as a standard bilevel program that
 can be approximated\, through the linearization of the nonlinear functions
 involved\, as a mixed integer linear program that yields
 ‘quasi-optimal' solutions. Since this approach does not scale well\,
 we have in parallel developed heuristic procedures that exploit the very
 structure of the problem. Based on theoretical and computation results
 pertaining to this application\, we will discuss further developments in
 the area of nonlinear facility location.
