Abstract

Location problems occurring in urban or regional settings may involve many tens of thousands of "demand points," usually individual private residences. In modeling such problems it is common to aggregate demand points to obtain tractable models. We survey aggregation approaches to a large class of location models, consider and compare various aggregation error measures, identify some effective (and ineffective) aggregation error measures, and discuss some open research areas.
