Optimizes cost in freight transport by applying a genetic algorithm to a mathematical model, indicating its effectiveness.
In recent years, sea and air freight transport is becoming a big trend. However, papers concerning sea and air freight transport can hardly be seen for mathematical formulation and its analysis. In this paper, we make mathematical formulation of the case single supply site and single demand site with multiple delivery dates/different delivery quantities as of a fundamental one. Under certain constraints, minimum cost is pursued. Simple numerical example is examined and optimal solution is derived using genetic algorithm. Next, expansion is executed as for the case single supply site and multiple demand sites. Formulation expansion is executed as for the case multiple supply sites and single demand site. Numerical example is also examined. By formulating sea and air freight transport problem, it can be handled clearly and smoothly. Various solving method should be examined here after.
