The automated vehicle identification (AVI) equipment location problem entails determination of the best locations for the automated vehicle identification equipment. The paper attempts to solve the AVI equipment location problem as a multi-objective optimization problem, thus determining the best locations on the basis of several criteria. The developed model is based on genetic algorithms. Testing of the model developed on the greater transportation networks is certainly one of the most important directions for the future research, as much as the development of models based on other metaheuristic approaches (Simulated Annealing, Taboo Search). The results obtained in this stage of the research are promising.
