A Coal Industry Distribution Planning Model under Environmental Constraints
提出了一个多周期混合整数线性规划模型，用于指导美国煤炭生产与跨区域分布的扩张，整合了公共和私人利益集团视角，可评估行业表现、立法影响及最优选址与时机。
A multiperiod mixed integer linear programming model is proposed as a guide to the expansion of the production and interregional distribution of United States coal. A generalized network approach is utilized to incorporate public and private interest group perspectives into the planning framework. The model should serve as an indicator of the possible performance of the industry, a guide to the impact of legislation, and as an outline for a program for optimal location and timing of mines and conversion and transportation facilities.
