Abstract

Designing a good public service system that provides a geographical region with service through a specified number of service centers is a very difficult task, particularly when multiple quality evaluation criteria are applied. A Pareto front of public service system designs is a very useful instrument for any designer who must consider multiple requests from public representatives. Due to the computational difficulty of determining the Pareto front, a number of heuristic approaches have been developed. One of these techniques, gradual refinement, proved to be quite effective, but its performance could be enhanced by eliminating the repetition of some rudimentary swap routines. This contribution focuses on the application of tabu search features to enhance and increase the efficacy of the gradual refinement process by suspending the routines’ few useful applications. The resulting metaheuristic is validated through numerical experimentation using benchmarks, and the approximations of the Pareto front are compared to the exact Pareto fronts.
