Facility layout and location problems with stochastic congestion in the traffic circulation system have been studied in a previous paper. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm to solve these complex problems. With its straightforward approach, the algorithm can solve large-scale Quadratic Assignment Problems with reasonable computing times and efficient performance. Computational experience for solving many test examples is also presented.
