This paper deals with the Uncapacitated $r$-allocation $p$-hub Maximal Covering
Problem (UrApHMCP) with a binary coverage criterion. This problem consists of choosing
$p$ hub locations from a set of nodes so as to maximize the total demand covered under the
$r$-allocation strategy. The general assumption is that the transportation between the non-hub nodes is possible only via hub nodes, while each non-hub node is assigned to at most
$r$ hubs. An integer linear programming formulation of the UrApHMCP is presented and
tested within the framework of a commercial CPLEX solver. In order to solve the problem
on large scale hub instances that cannot be handled by the CPLEX, a Genetic Algorithm
(GA) is proposed. The results of computational experiments on standard $p$-hub benchmark
instances with up to 200 nodes demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed
GA method.
