Description

The algorithms described in this paper were tested on several data sets, as described in Section 7 of the paper.  The non-random data sets are each contained in the Excel files below.  Three of the data sets (49, 88, and 150 nodes) are adapted from Daskin (1995); the fourth is adapted from Swain (1971).

In each data set, the first row indicates the number of customers and the number of scenarios. The second row lists the probabilities for each scenario. Each successive row contains data for one scenario/node pair, including: scenario index, node index, demand, fixed cost, latitude, and longitude. 

Additional information can be found in the Excel files themselves and in Section 7.1 of the paper.
