Goods Transportation Problem Solving via Routing Algorithm

Abstract

This paper outlines the ideas behind developing a graph-based heuristic-driven routing algorithm designed for a particular instance of a goods transportation problem with a single good type. The proposed algorithm solves the optimization problem of satisfying the demand of goods on a given undirected transportation graph with minimizing the estimated cost for each traversed segment of the delivery path. The operation of the routing algorithm is discussed and overall evaluation of the proposed problem solving technique is given.
