Overview

Network flow is impeded by the arcs present in the network and their associated length/weighting. Arcs can be added or removed to debottleneck the network. But which ones? At what cost?

Research activities

Develop a mixed integer programming model to optimally debottleneck a network. Implement the model in CPLEX and revise model as needed. Create test cases/instances. Solve test cases and report.

Outcomes

A new max flow approach

Skills and experience

Operations Research, mathematical modelling, CPLEX or other optimization package
