Hub location problems are a well-known family of problems within General Network Design, which combine location and design decisions.
In general, entities that interact with a network are considered to be passive, i.e., their actions are based on the design decisions taken by a Company.
When the entities are humans, their preferences will not necessarily match with those of the Company. For this reason, it is interesting to study how these individual decisions influence the performance of an existing network and the design of a new one.
The above idea is developed by modelling users' decisions through deterministic utility functions. Users try to maximize their utility when travelling from their Origin to their Destination, meanwhile the Company tries to maximize its profits.
We propose an extension of the Hub network design problem with profits presented in Alibeyg et. al. 2016 in which the users' preferences are incorporated through the inclusion of Maximum Utility Constraints.
