The solid transportation problem is an important extension of the traditional transportation problem. Solid transportation problem with uncertain variables as its parameters is called uncertain solid transportation problem. In this paper, the expected-constrained programming for an uncertain solid transportation problem is given based on uncertainty theory. According to inverse uncertainty dist...

Fixed charge solid transportation problem (FCSTP) is one of the main and most important problems in transportation and network research areas. To tackle such an NP-hard problem, An Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is employed. To the best of our knowledge, EM has been considered for any kind of transportation problems. Due to the significant role of parameters on the algorithm’s performance...

In this chapter, the authors propose a new approach to analyze the Solid Transportation Problem (STP). This new approach considers the multi-choice programming into the cost coefficients of objective function and stochastic programming, which is incorporated in three constraints, namely sources, destinations, and capacities constraints, followed by Cauchy’s distribution for solid transportation...

The solid transportation problem considers the supply, the demand and the conveyance satisfying the transportation requirement in a cost-effective manner. This paper develops a method that is able to derive the fuzzy objective value of the fuzzy solid transportation problem when the cost coefficients, the supply and demand quantities, conveyance capacities are fuzzy numbers and additional const...

In the present paper, the multi-objective solid transportation problem with fuzzy coefficients for the objectives and constraints is modelled and then solved. Fuzzy goal programming is used to the linear multiobjective solid transportation problem, and an optimal compromise solution is obtained. Firstly, expected values of the fuzzy objective functions are considered to derive crisp values. In ...
