TL;DR

With these formulations the authors extend the concept of ‘coverage’ from facility location analysis to network design and routing analysis and possible modifications to, and extensions and applications of both models are presented.

Abstract

In this paper the authors introduce the maximum covering/shortest path problem and the maximum population/shortest path problem, a special case of the former model. Both models are formulated as two objective integer programs. A summary of the results of a sample problem for the latter formulation is given. Possible modifications to, and extensions and applications of both models are also presented. With these formulations the authors extend the concept of 'coverage' from facility location analysis to network design and routing analysis.
