Abstract
This article recapitulates literature research solving transportation problems and these variants, notably the multimodal transportation problems variants. Moreover, the existing optimization methods critiqued and synthesized their efficiency to solve the transportation problem. This problem can be identified by various criteria and objectives functions that distinguished according to the case study. Based on the existing literature research, a taxonomy is proposed to distinguish different factors and criteria that perform and influence the multi-objective optimization on the transportation network planning problems. The transportation problems are cited according to these objective functions, and the variant of the problem by referring to the previous studies. In this article, the authors have focused their attention on a recent multi-objective mathematical model to solve the planning network of the multimodal transportation problem.
Highlights
The transportation system defined as the displacement of the goods or passengers between two terminals or cities in the international or national network
In the multi-objective optimization problem, the decision maker is charged with an efficient choice of existing routes in order to select the best itinerary according to a compromise solution between a set of objectives such as the minimization of the transport cost and the duration of transport, the maximization of service quality, etc. (Mnif & Bouamama, 2017b)
This paper discusses the different related problems to the planning network transportation problem when focused on multi-objective optimization
Summary
The transportation system defined as the displacement of the goods or passengers between two terminals or cities in the international or national network. The national and international networks include the conveyances, corresponding network, transportation mode, networks paths, itineraries, cities, depots, customers, stations, and terminals. The network defined by a set of nodes connected by one or more itineraries in the transportation system, each itinerary represents a transportation mode. The itinerary is represented by only one connection and one transportation mode between two nodes. The nodes are described as exchange stations that can include the transshipment, the delivery or the load and unload of the merchandise. This article provides an overview of the literature researches based on the optimization of transport problem as well as the optimization methods applied to solve these problems in multi-objective and single objective case. The goal is to distinguish the objectives functions of the optimization transport
