OR-Library is a collection of test data sets for a variety of OR problems.

A full list of the test data sets available in OR-Library can be found here.


p-median - capacitated

There is one data file, pmedcap1

This file contains the problems solved in:
[1]  I.H. Osman and N. Christofides, Capacitated clustering problems 
     by hybrid simulated annealing and tabu search,
     International Transactions in Operational Research, Vol. 1,
     No. 3, (1994) pp317-336.

The format of the data file is:
Number of problems (M)
For each problem m (m=1,...,M) in turn:
   Problem number in [1], best solution value found in [1]
   Number of customers (n), number of medians (p), capacity of each median (Q)
      For each customer i (i=1,...,n) in turn:
      customer number (i), x coordinate of i, y coordinate of i, demand of i

Note here that the computational results reported in [1] used 
euclidean distances calculated from these coordinates but 
rounded down to the nearest integer.

These problems were contributed by Dr Ibrahim H. Osman
Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Kent,
Canterbury, Kent CT2 7NF, UK
