Transportation problems and their solutions: literature review

The transportation problem is a classic problem in operations research that involves finding the optimal way to move goods from one place to another. With the increase of globalization and the development of complex distribution networks, the transportation problem has become increasingly important in the field of operations research. This article provides a literature review of transportation problems and their solutions. The authors explore the various types of transportation problems and the available solutions that can be used to address them. The article looks at the different objectives and constraints that can be used to formulate transportation problems and presents the main algorithms used to solve them. The authors discuss the applications of transportation problems in different areas including logistics, supply chain management, urban planning, and others. They also examine the potential benefits and drawbacks of using transportation problems in these areas and conclude by suggesting further research in the field.
