Abstract
This paper aims at being a guide to understand the different types of transportation problems by presenting a survey of mathematical models and algorithms used to solve different types of transportation modes (ship, plane, train, bus, truck, Motorcycle, Cars, and others) by air, water, space, cables, tubes, and road. Some problems are as follows: bus scheduling problem, delivery problem, combining truck trip problem, open vehicle routing problem, helicopter routing problem, truck loading problem, truck dispatching problem, truck routing problem, truck transportation problem, vehicle routing problem and variants, convoy routing problem, railroad blocking problem (RBP), inventory routing problem (IRP), air traffic flow management problem (TFMP), cash transportation vehicle routing problem, and so forth.
Highlights
The Transportation Problems (TP) is the generic name given to a whole class of problems in which the transportation is necessary
An improved ACO to solve a new formulation for railroad blocking problem (RBP) in coal heavy haul rail network in north China. They discussed the problem with direct train routing and frequencies and they did not consider the terminal capacity in handling classification process and maximum available blocks constraints
In addition to the min-max vehicle routing problem criterion imposed on the time it takes to complete the longest route, school districts are concerned with the minimization of the total distance travelled and they develop a solution procedure for this problem by applying Tabu search within the framework of Multiobjective Adaptive Memory Programming and compare it to an implementation of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm— a well-known approach to multiobjective optimization
Summary
The Transportation Problems (TP) is the generic name given to a whole class of problems in which the transportation is necessary. The transportation modes are the form of transporting some resources to locations. The transportation modes use water, space, air, road, rail, and cable. The form of transport has different infrastructure, capacity, times, activities, and regulations. Example of transportation modes are ship, aircraft, truck, train, pipeline, motorcycle, and others. This paper aims to be a guide to understand the Transportation Problems (TP) by presenting a survey of the characteristics, the algorithms used to solve the problems, and the differences of the variants of the Transportation problems.
