Abstract

A petroleum filling station is a type of facility used for the sales or dispensing of petroleum products such as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automated Gas Oil (AGO), Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), Lubricating Oil (LubOil) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) amongst others, to automobiles and other users. Best fit location of facilities is a decision-making problem. The proper location of public and private facilities within a city is one of the demands required by town planners and urban planning development agencies. Apart from reduced property values and, the added threat of accidents and fire disasters, the poor location of facilities also comes with other considerable hazards to the environment and its inhabitants. The proposed approach for the optimal location of petroleum filling stations is a best-fit strategy using Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). A multi-objective function was formulated taking into consideration the requirements of the regulatory body - the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and consumer demand. The genetic algorithm models were implemented using MATLAB while data analysis was carried out in ArcGIS version 10 and Microsoft Excel. The model was tested using locations of filling stations in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria as a case study. It was observed that only 34% of the existing filling stations in the Akure metropolis were found to satisfy the minimum spacing requirement set by the DPR. The model was able to re-allocate filling stations that do not meet the requirements of the DPR. It was also, able to propose the coordinates for a new petrol filling station.
