This paper focuses on designing facility networks in the public sector so as to maximize the number of people聽benefiting from their services. We develop an analytical framework for the maximal accessibility network聽design problem that involves determining the optimal number, locations, and capacities of a network of public聽sector facilities. We assume that the time spent for receiving the service from a facility is a good proxy for its聽accessibility. We provide a generic model that incorporates both the congestion at the facilities and the customerchoice聽environment that underlies most of the services offered by the public sector. We devise an 聟-optimal聽algorithm for the arising nonlinear integer program. The proposed algorithm performs well in tackling fairly聽large problem instances. Through a realistic example based on the hospital network of Toronto, we demonstrate聽the model鈥檚 capability in providing policy insights.
