Abstract :
a b s t r a c tOur main goal in this article is to arrange terminal facilities, place different departments, stores and units in predefined areas in such a way as to minimize the cost of moving customers and transportation staff. Especially in large-scale terminals with several different transport segments, it is important for terminal performance to be close to interactive units. Today, meta-heuristic methods are often used to solve optimization problems such as facility design. in this study; The design of the various units, stores, and rooms of a large-scale real terminal was organized using three meta-heuristic algorithms: Migratory Bird Optimization (MBO), Taboo Search (TS), and Simulated Simulation (SA). The results were compared with the existing terminal design. As a result, MBO and SA metaheuristic algorithms have provided the best results, which improve the efficiency of the existing terminal design to an acceptable level.
